A member asked:

I woke up this afternoon with a stuffy headache. felt in back and neck. and makes ear sound stuffy. tumor related? any headache remedies?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Headaches: Probably not tumor related. Headaches come and go depending on if you surpass the pain threshold. Triggers help you get over the threshold so avoid triggers and sleep 8-9 hours nightly, eat three meals daily, excercize moderately, increase water intake, eliminate caffeine and decrease stress. If you do all these things you will have less headaches.
