I seem to be suffering lately from chronic headaches that last most of the day. I've been having them a lot lately. I'm not sure why. Anyone on here try any home remedies to help with headaches? Any suggestions I could try?
I've found a few things cause headaches.
If you've got the kind of pain that feels like an ache behind your eyes (and that gets worse if you roll your eyes upwards) that just won't go away, check the light levels in your bedroom. If my bedroom is too light my eyes roll further up when I'm sleeping and it makes them hurt during the day.
Often I find I get dehydrated. In the summer it's easy to realise you need more water especially when you're hot and sweaty. In the winter time humidity indoors tends to drop and it's easy to get dehydrated without realising it.
Too much water without electrolytes can be a bad thing so sometimes I use electrolyte tablets. They are the kind of thing I typically use when I'm exercising - I take them along with me when I'm on a long hike or bike ride. Alternatively if I think I'm deficient in a particular mineral I look for ways to top it up directly. I have a packet of food grade potassium bicarbonate that I sometimes use (it tastes foul but is good for getting potassium quickly), and often keep a bag of high quality dark chocolate pieces or a bag of sunflower seeds for when I need magnesium.
I keep thinking about working out just what my recommended daily intakes of electrolytes are, figure which ones I am prone to be deficient and which ones may be harmful if overdone, and then put together a blend of food grade compounds such that I can take a single drink every day and get all the electrolytes I need. I'm initially thinking of a combination of things like potassium bicarbonate, magnesium sulphate, calcium chloride etc.
I'm supposed to massage my scar from the incision but it must be hitting a nerve and I get headaches.
