Hi Ladies
I'm a little worried as I have had a tension type headache for approx 5 days during my period ? Anyone else had this please ? Should I be worried ? Thank you x

It's more round the sides of my head and just above my eyes ? Tablets like Nurofen have not got rid of it, which I thought I odd ? Not had this before to be honest usually just get a headache for one day pre period, but this has been longer ? Thank you for your reply 😘

Either tablets, or lay down in a dark room to sleep them off works for me.

Unfortunately tablets have not got rid of it ? Which I thought was odd, never had this type of headache before ? Hopefully it will go. Thank you for your reply 😘

It helps to balance hormone levels which in turn helps the tension and headaches.
On on my worst days I would mix chamomile tea with a little grappa or vodka to get relief. This only brought little relief and is probably not the best antidote for tension. I was just not finding relief in anything else.
Hope this helps!

I will try the Evening primrose oil for sure 😊 although the Vodka sounds tempting ! 😂 I was just a little concerned that painkillers were not getting rid of it ? Normally they do for any other headache ? Thanks for the advice x
