    Mind Blowing Chronic headaches everyday...

    Seems like I've been having headaches just about everyday now for the last 2 months. I take Ibuprophen for them which helps but they usually return the next day. Is it from all the stress I've been going thru the last couple of months possibly or something worse??? I'm a bit worried :/

    Any thoughts?

    I have a serious brain disorder and have headaches every day. Go to a doctor and rule out anything serious.

    Not trying to scare you or anything, it's probably nothing, but I'm one of the few who found a major problem so it can happen.

    As you said, maybe cause of all the stress you've been thru? I agree that you should see a Dr. Also, taking a pain reliever every day is not good for your liver.
    Take care, & wish you the best.

    Its sounds like its your hormones... I had a headache almost everyday in October. It was a hormonal headache.. Nothing would get rid of it. I would sleep for 12 plus hours get up and have a headache all day and all night. It sounds like your hormones is dropping to extreme lows causing a headache. Check out info in the link below.

    I'm so sorry to hear that babe. It could be chronic dehydration. Or maybe you are having teeth problems? How horrible is the pain on a scale of 1-10? The worst headaches in the world are called suicide headaches aka cluster headaches. I hope that is not what you are going through.

    My headaches are usually caused by:

    -dehydration
    -hunger
    -stress
    -achy sore neck muscles

    Try to drink tons of water and make sure you are eating enough. Or if it's caused by sore muscles, get a massage in your neck and shoulders. If it's not any of these things, I would suggest going to a doctor.

    Thanks everyone. I didn't get them until recently prob about a month ago maybe a little less. I agree that it's more than likely stress related. I checked my blood pressure & it was normal , so that's good, at least I know I'm not gonna have a stroke or anything crazy like that hopefully. It could also be hormonal as well. I'm not going to take much more pain killers bc I've done the research & they're all saying that they too can cause headaches if you take them for too long. I prob just need to take it easy for awhile & stay away from my monster energy drinks mixed with vodka most nights ...eek

    I'd say on a scale of 1- 10 , I'd rank it to be about a 6. It's a headache but it makes me feel tired & sleepy also when I'm having them. I'm hoping it's nothing too serious, I don't have health insurance nor do I want to pay for it bc I've never really been sick or needed it.

    Ya, i'm gonna try. I seriously have always hated drinking water so I've avoided it my whole life. I usually drink crystal light if I have to have water. Otherwise it's gatorade, vitamin water or juice for me. Ya ya ya i know BAD, but whatever it is what it is.

    Try getting a good massage. Like ScarletKitten said, it could be from your muscles. I get horrendous migraines (real migraines where I can't tolerate light or sound and I get scintillating scotomas) that are triggered by tense muscles in my shoulders. It sucks!

    Headaches are a bitch. I hope you feel better soon!

    This could be a lot of factors. Start taking notes of everything you eat and drink, in case you might have some kind of trigger after consuming something (a friend of mine gets wretched headaches after eating things with artificial sweeteners). Also take note of your environments. Are you around smokers? Lots of cleaning chemicals? Etc.
    Water, water, water. Hydration plays a huge part.
    What are you doing to de-stress? A massage is a good idea, as kaninchen suggested. Also maybe try things like yoga or meditation.
    Also also, when was the last time you had an eye exam? You may need glasses or contacts (or may need a new prescription, if you have them).

    All these are excellent suggestions. I get headaches all.the.time! What helped me was acupuncture, it helped me release the pent in stress. Here is a list of suggestions which many have already been covered:
    Drink more water
    Chiropractor
    New Pillow (if the pain is in your neck area)
    Massage
    Acupuncture
    Allergies (you can get an allergy test from your doctor)
    Keep a food journal to see if its a food trigger
    Note if it has to do with your period cycle (mine are worse a week before my period, I keep track with an app called P Tracker)
    Good luck I hope you can pinpoint what is causing it.

    Update! My headaches have ceased in the last few days due to me drinking more fluids(yes, water) and excersizing more. I've been trying to just relax instead of worrying about everything all at once. I do believe that stress was def a major trigger for the cause of them. Thanks everyone for their kind replies
