Get help for headaches
If headaches keep you from going to work or are affecting your personal life, get help.
Make an appointment to see your health care provider for an accurate diagnosis. Become informed about your headache type and treatment options.
To help with occasional tension headaches, try a warm shower, rest, or relaxation techniques.
Some headaches are caused by dehydration. Many physicians recommend that you drink at least 8 ounces of water or a sports drink at the onset of a headache. If you have a chronic medical condition, clear this first with your physician.
Headaches affect millions of people and cost companies billions of dollars a year in lost productivity, absenteeism, and medical expenses, according to the National Headache Foundation.
