Other than getting rid of the source of stress (which isn’t possible at the minute), what’s the best way to get rid of tension headaches?

Every day I have off work I wake up in the morning with a thumping headache which I can’t seem to shift with painkillers. I’m sure they’re just standard tension headaches, but I need to ideas to get rid of them.

    Do you have access to Excedrin? Excedrin Tension Headache works miracles. Other than that, take a hot shower. It usually helps alleviate some of the pain.

    By the way, do you drink a lot of coffee or tea when you are at work that you don’t drink on your days off? Then your headaches might be caffeine-withdrawal symptoms (it happens!).

    know the feeling. My job is pretty stressful. I have taken up T’ai Chi and i find that it gives me the ability to be able to relax which helps considerably. The beauty of T’ai Chi is that you can get up in the morning, do a few simple exercises and relax and recharge your batteries at the same time.

    Head massages are helpful, take ibuprofen. (anti inflammotary tablet.) Try herbal baths (Reduce stress,) taking deep breaths to calm down your stress and adrenalin levels and PLEASE go to your doctor if your headaches continue. x

    Headache is among the most common medical complaints. Whenever a headache strikes drink lots of water .Lack of oxygen may have lead to your headache. Place a few ice-cubes in a polythene bag, and apply this on the forehead and temples. Check out http://useinfo-headache.blogspot.com/ for more info
