Hi everyone,

I was wondering does anyone have tips for dealing with headaches? I've had a headache for the past 7 days and is leading me to constantly sleeping because I don't feel well enough to do anything. If it persists I will be visiting my doctor after the bank holiday, I just need something that can help till then!

    I’d avoid screens like phones, TV and computers. Caffeine can either help or hurt so if you haven’t tried coffee or tea it could help a little! When I feel a headache coming on I try to workout, I’m not sure why but it seems to help stop the headache but it sucks at first. I’m on propranolol and it helps me so much! I used to have to take 4 extra strength Tylenol or Advil to finally stop my headache and take it right before you go to sleep so you are in the dark and are relaxed. Sleeping too much can also cause headaches so watch your sleep schedule! I hope you figure out what helps you! I’d go to your doctor ASAP! At first I got fiorcet which helped at first but then I got used to that too so that’s when I tried propranolol and I’ve been on it ever since
