You can try turning off the lights, if it is possible.  Often the major culprit of headaches is light.  Also try massaging your temples, starting lightly and gradually applying more pressure.  Drink a lot of water.  Don't drink anything with caffeine or sugar, as they can make a headache much worse.

I've found that lying down with a cold, damp cloth on my forehead helps. Or you could try doing something relaxing like listening to your favorite music or having someone massage your temples. Sometimes, the same things that can trigger a migraine can also help ease the pain (chocolate, caffeine,etc).

I think what you should do is fill your kitchen sink up with water. Now put your head in the sink three times,and only pull your head out twice. This will cure your headache

The best person to help you is your Doctor. No-ones advice should replace his.\n\nIt sounds like theres a chance your really bad headaches could be migraines which come in any forms.\nA Doctor can prescribe medications if necessary to help with the management of migraines,\n\nI find ibuprofen for Migraines works really well , and another home remedy is straight black coffee 3 sugars.\n\nGood luck and instead of worrying see your doctor and let him tell you the answers.

Yes, talk to your doctor.  Perhaps it is connected to your medication, and only your doctor can advise you there.\n\nThe only time I suffered with headaches was when I took vitamin A or E tablets daily (separately).  It felt like I had overloaded the back of my head.  So now I don't take vitamin tablets and just make sure to treat myself to a balanced diet.  Although I know that there are some ailments that are treated with vitamins.  \n\nI think that the sooner you speak to your doctor the better

Alternative headache treatments include:\n• acupuncture or acupressure\n• biofeedback\n• chiropractic\n• herbal remedies using feverfew (Chrysanthemum parthenium), valerian (Valeriana officinalis), white willow (Salix alba), or skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora), among others\n• homeopathic remedies chosen specifically for the individual and his/her type of headache\n• hydrotherapy\n• massage\n• magnesium supplements\n• regular physical exercise\n• relaxation techniques, such as meditation and yoga\n• transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). (A test that electrically stimulates nerves and blocks the signals of pain transmission)

Just quit cold turkey and keep alot of Ibuprofen and tylenol on hand for the headaches that will follow. Get as much sleep as possible, and take vitamins and get some exercise. Don't eat chocolate excedrin or diet pills. (all contain caffeine). Check all teas and soft drinks for caffeine content. Sprite, 7up, Sierra Mist and most root beers contain no caffeine. In about 2 weeks you'll be fine.

Cut down on the caffeine and alcohol, drink more water, get regular sleep, eat a healthy balance of foods.  If absolutely necessary, do not exceed the recommended dose of an OTC pain killer such as Tylenol, asprin or Advil.\n\nFor migraines, what has helped me is taking magnesium supplements (a magnesium deficiency causes the same symptoms as those by a migraine) and seeing a chiropracter.

take an aspirin..and drink plenty of water..not sure what the chemistry is behind it but i guess its cooling and so..helps! looking at the computer screen also contributes to headaches..as it puts a lot of strain on the eyes. i'd say..get some rest!

See a doctor right away and get the relevants done. If the headache is persistent then probably it is an indication that it should not be taken lightly.

Take medicine and push your finger on the top of your bone that goes inbetween your eyebrows if you know where I'm talking about, its inbetween your eyes, just do that and tell yourself it will make your headache go away, my great grandpa taught me that and it always works with me......

Well a headache can only be caused by so many things. The first guess would be water. If you're dehydrated, that can cause headaches. Ironically caffeine can be a surefire headache relief, but dehydrates the body. Funny isn't it? Just check the back of a bottle of excedrin and find mr. caffeine included.\n\nSo yeah, drink a ton of water, wait a little bit, if that fails, then have a cup of coffee or something and continue drinking water to keep hydrated.

Wrap an ice pack in a thin towel and place it on the nape of your neck(right above your neck where that bump is), then place a warm pack on your forehead and over your eyes. The cold pack will slow down the blood flow and your headache will go away.  This really does work.

I get headaches all the time. I try not to take my prescription drug if i can avoid it. I don't know how old you are so I don't want to promote drinking coffee but what I do is drink a small cup of regular coffee with cream and a couple sugars eat a small meal and take three ibuprofen. Slow deep breathing exercises help too. It helps relax your neck muscles, face and jaw. The caffeine in the coffee helps the blood vessels in your head open up if they are constricted. It works for me because i don't drink anything with caffeine in it. But if you do drink a lot of caffeine it can cause a headache. If you can keep a headache diary it can help you to distinguish from what types you are getting and what kinds of treatments can help. If i have a headache on the right side of my head I know it isn't a migraine. Sometimes ice works sometimes a heat pack on the back of my neck works. If i sleep too little, or skip a meal i will get a headache. Once you start to monitor you headaches you can possibly avoid getting them all together and when you do get one you will eventually know which treatment work for each one. Try some of the things i do and see if they help.
