Headaches?

Post Reply New Topic

Any of you get headaches often? I get headaches very often. I feel like I'm weaker than other people. As soon as it gets too noisy, if I go to the city centre, if I socialise etc I get headaches. Sometimes they're minor, but they're there most of the time. Quite annoying. Anyone recognise this? Any advice on how to not get headaches that often?

I have psychosomatic headaches, I'm having one at the moment.

I have them quite often as well. They often comes from stress and tenseness in my neck. I was sent to a physiotherapist, but he said I had to learn to loosen up (I tend to have my shoulders up to my ears) before he could go further with any treatment. I sometimes also feel it coming from my eyes (it aches right behind and between the eyes), so that my be light sensitivity.

Do you know where your headaches comes from? If its just plain stress, or sensitivity to noise for example.

I'm guessing my headaches come from both stress and noise sensitivity. I'm very sensitive to sounds and noise. I'm probably also very tens in my neck and back. And then, I honestly have no idea what mental silence feels like and I sometimes wonder if one can get headaches from that. Can you get a headache from thinking too much?

Every single day. Headaches run in my family, and the problem is exasperated by my sensitivity to sound.

How do you handle that?

fairly frequent. I get through a 32 box of ibuprofen+codeine every 6 weeks. Pain killers work very well, but I do try to avoid unless it's really bugging me.

I usually don't. Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Aspirin, etc are useless most of the time since I've taken so much of it throughout my life that I've built up a tolerance, but if it's a really bad headache, bombarding it with a lot of any of them may help. Most of the time I just quietly suffer through it, occasionally exploding at anyone unlucky enough to bother me.

Yeah, I try to not take pain killers that often. I usually only take them when the headache is really really bad. What sounds are you most sensitive to by the way?

I find most of my headaches are caused by diet.

All sounds. Literally just about every damn sound bothers me. I used to think it was just loud noises, but then I noticed that the tiniest of sounds, completely inaudible to those around me, could drive me into a psychotic rage. Misophonia, in other words.

Wow, here I thought I was the only one..

I suffer from headaches quite often. They say I might have inherited it from my grandfather.

I used to get migraines. But I started drinking red wine at night and they stopped. I have not had one in several months. Which is good as the migraine medicine was expensive at $60 or four pills a month!

I have tension headaches all the time. When they get bad I can feel my pulse stabbing it's way through my temples. Some of the triggers I've noticed are noise, light, too much stress or emotion, reading, eyestrain, caffeine.
I had a cluster headache twice. It was so bad I wanted to die. I pity the people who have them constantly.

Thinking can cause to stress, which again can cause to headache. I have no idea what mental silence feels like, how can anybody go around without thinking?

At home i use to dim the lights and watch one of the many tv-series I enjoy, this helps a bit with the headache for me. When i'm out my strategy is mainly to get home, i don't know how to stress down when around people cause they are mostly the ones who stress me (I am very sensitive to groups of people talking). Have you tried soft music and a good noise-cancelling headset?
