Tension Headache

Atleast thats what i think it is. I have had it for a week and a half now. It is so splitting at times that i cant do anything except hold my head in my hands and “think” of it going away. I have tried relaxing techniques, tylenol and even some prescription muscle relaxer which makes me real sleepy for the next 2 days.

Anyone else ever get these? How do i get rid of the darn thing, i got a paper to finish!! :mad:

Re: Tension Headache

are u sleeping arrite?? maybe its lack of sleep?

ive been getting headaches too.. have one right now. I think its to do with not enuff sleep and no food

Re: Tension Headache

take tylenol, hot shower and sleep. i get that too.. its lack of sleep n thats it.

Re: Tension Headache

^ yeah... take a warm shower and have chai (or somethign that warms u up)

Re: Tension Headache

nah, its not the kind to go away with sleep, since trust me i have tried that too. I dont know how to explain it but i know when i have a headache due to stress or lack of sleep or low blood pressure (i get that often). Nothing seems to help and i dont want to go see the doc for such a silly thing , it seems until it gets out of control !

Re: Tension Headache

hmmm just relax then. Take a shower.. and lay in bed. Think of something else. Call ur fiance and maybe that'll get ur mind off things

Re: Tension Headache

I wish i could call him but he would just tell me i dont listen to him and hence not take care of myself. :blush:
Plus the poor dude needs some sleep too, you know! :smiley:

Re: Tension Headache

you're not going to be productive with a headache like that anyway.

Re: Tension Headache
