Any tips on how to stop these terrible headaches paracetamol not working and can't take any other tablets please help
I find that if you are dehydrated it causes headaches.If iI wake up with a headache,instead of immediately taking a paradox extra or whatever painkiller,I drink a glass of water and it is amazing how the headache can disappear quite fast.Also make sure you are sleeping on the right pillow,because if not it can cause neck ache and also headaches.Just try for a day or two and see what happens.drink plenty of water.Feel better.
I'm on sertraline as well & also suffer from banging headaches, cant help with any other pain killers, but just wanted to say your not alone in haveing these symptoms, I'm going to try drinking plenty of water now as Wendi suggests to see if that helps.
Thank you both for you replies.
I'm not really a water person but I do keep a bottle of water beside me all the time and take sips here and there.
Headaches are making me feel sick and dizzy and I just want to lay in bed.
Hi cloe, I couldn't agree more about drinking more water to stop a headache. If you're not that keen try little and often 😊
Sending you a PM with a link for some natural remedies.
Thank you I will look at the link now.
I also feel as though my left ear is all clogged and no matter what I do I can't unclog them so that could be part of the headach
Can I ask you what else you are on
Sertraline 100mg
Diazepam 2mg twice a day
Lansoprazole 30mg
Beconase nose spray
anti-sickness tablets
I'm like a walking chemist at the min lol
Only 2 tabs one tummy settler and I presume an allergy spray
do u have any other disco.forts
both diazepam and sertraline dehydrate you you do need to drink a lot esp first thing
I have a coffee late first thing whilst waking up , then lots of fluid
I find coconut water very good as its got potassium in it a d I also take cider vinegar first thing
Hi Gillian, yes it's the dehydration that can cause a headache. I find a desert spoon of cider vinegar with a tea spoon of manuka honey in a large glass of hot water first thing in the morning works wonders 😃
I swig the cv down then take my hot milk coffee back to bed its really helped
later in the day I drink water with lemon line or fruit teas I'm on tramadol as well so I get very thirsty
Lansoprazole is for acid reflux which isn't helping me and the spray is for my clogged ear which also isn't helping lol
Could acid reflux/heartburn be part of anexity?
My headache hasn't been as bad today and iv been sipping water instead of drinking it normal as when I do I bring it back up
Just want to wake up and forget all about this anexity been 3 months I have been house bound with it I feel so ill
Drink plenty of Water is the best think, and try to reduce you cola and coffee intake
All I seem to want to drink is tea and I swig water now and then. Is the bottled flavoured water just as good then just plain water?
Water is water ....... just try to stay away from caffiene
As Jimmy says however flavoured water watch the artificial sweetners they can give headaches
Go for caffeine free tea
or fruit teas pg tips new one jasmine in nice if the red fruits get a bit icky then vary I have a large variety
If you want to reduce the headaches,PLAIN water in the morning,but a sip here and there is not much help.Believe me,it is surprising that it can work quickly.I don't have to take nearly as many Panadol Extra as I used to.Just try a glass.Normally headaches in the morning are due to dehydration.
feel better.
