pounding, pressure headaches

what can i take to get rid of these? it's happening every day. awful awful headaches. at night sometimes i put my palms on my temples and press to try and contain the pounding. is it only tylenol stuff we cant take? or aspirin? i dont remember. thanks everyone

That sounds awful! Sorry about your headaches girl! I was told only take Tylenol products, NO Aspirin, NO Aleve, NO Advil or anything. I'd definitely check with your doc though, may be having low iron or something of the sort, that can cause really bad headaches. Hope you feel better! ~Crystal

thankyou crystal. i was actually beginning to wonder about my iron levels because i get super dizzy a lot. i have blood work next week. we'll see! thanks again.

Hi Sarah, hope the tylenol helps the headaches. are you drinking enough? sometimes dehydration can cause headaches and dizzyness. be careful!!! judi

I've been having really bad sinus headaches... its the change in the weather, I assume. I take the Tylenol Gotabs that I chew up and it helps dull it a little.

HI Sarah, I am sorry to hear about your headaches...uggghhh I am glad though you posted this because the other day i had one and i didn't really know what to take. i know that i don't get enough water in i get lightheaded dizzy spells also, and i wasn't eating enough either. hope your blood work comes back GREAT!

Sarah I sure hope your headache went away after you posted. On Thurs, I went to my pcp and he gave me Maxalt, which is a dissolvable tablet for migraines. And it worked. This is the first real headache I have had since my surgery in June, before I would easily take Motrin 800's like candy and it would barely take away the pain. Just don't wait too long to get some pain killer into you, it can become a migraine before you know it.
