ask: What type of headaches do you have?

I have experienced migraine, tension, and sinus headaches. I think this may run in the family since both my mother and brother are prone to these three as well.

To answer your question, I do treat the differing headaches in somewhat different manners. For a sinus headaches I make to sure take an allergy pill as well as Tylenol sinus or another sinus related pain medication.

For migraines I take Advil or Exedrine. Then I rest in a dark silent room because light ad noise often increase the pain of migraine headaches. I find cold compresses are often soothing for both migraine and sinus headaches as well.

As for tension headaches I only get these when I have been stressing for a considerable amount of time. So usually I take some Advil and rest, but then I try and hit the gym once it subsides because this is my best stress reliever.

Great question and I hope others respond so we can learn from each others remedies!

I get migraines and sinus headaches. My migraines get pretty bad and require prescription medication for them. My sinus headaches act up when I have a sinus infection and again have to take prescription medication. I wish I had other alternatives. Does anyone know of alternative treatments for either?
