Why do i keep getting headaches?
Answers:
I have just spent a week in hospital on lots of drugs and having lots of tests done to see why I am plagued with headaches EVERY DAY!
I have been told that it can be down to:
Stress (obviously)
Not enough sleep
Too much sleep (so thats handy!)
Dehydration
Bad eyesight (get eyes checked)
Working on computers all day (take a 5 min break every 30 mins)
Taking too many painkillers (check the side effects, most say "can cause headaches"! Logical?!)
and Bad posture.
If you are really worried though, would advise you to consult your doctor as I was told off severely for leaving it for so long, hence the stay in hospital!
There are so many different types of headaches that it is literally trial and error to find out which is the best remedy for you. It may take a while but stick with it.
Hope you get it sorted and feel better soon, believe me I know exactly what its like. It sucks!

try drinking more water.
If you are hooked on caffeine and you start cutting it out of your diet, you can get a headache from withdrawls.
Drink more water. Most people get headaches because they are dehydrated.
i am in same boat with u
dehydration probably. drink lots of water.
If this doesn't help go see your doctor. It could be something different and you may need prescribed medicine.
dunno. i heard on the news recently that changing climate and weird weather (global warming) can make you get headaches and make you sick.
Usually it is either because of stress, or straining your eyes.
You may want to take the time to chill out a bit, to let your body unwind, and also get your eyes tested.
However, it could also be due to loads of other things, but try and eliminate the 2 I mentioned, and see if it helps, otherwise a trip to the Doctors may be on the cards.
see a doctor !
You could be sensitive to light and maybe start wearing sunglasses and make sure you get a lot of water. You should also go to the doctors because it may have something to do with your eyes and maybe they're straining causing you to have a headache. It could also be if you're sleeping in an uncomfortable position and when you get up your neck and head may be tense causing you to have a headache. I think the best choice is to go to the doctor. They can tell if you have some sort of pinched nerve or something that may be causing you to have these.
maybe you have a lot of stress or prehaps you suffer with sinus
1. Maybe you need eyeglasses or have your eyes check by an eye doctor.
2. To much info for your brain to handle each minute.
3. You read to much.
4. You watch tv to close to the tv. Sit back about 8 feet.
5. Your siblings/brother/sister are driving you crazy.
6. Brain anerysium. Something wrong on your brain. Brain tumor?
7. To much caffeine.
8. To much icees from the store. Quit drinking really ice cold drinks, quit eating tons of ice cubes.
9. Reading to much. Give eyes a break! Close them for 10 seconds.
well my sister she's eight she kept having headache's and nothing would work so then we took her to the docters and she daignosed her with "cronic migranes" she put her on anti-siezure meds and they've been pretty much gone ever since.try going to a docter or get an appointment at your local hospital and see if the same thing is going on in your head..
good luck
make sure that you eat enough good food regularly and yes..drink lots of water.
So many things could cause that. We are heading toward summer or technically, we are in summer, and the heat can cause a tremendous amount of stress on our body. Try to have a lot of water. Make sure that you are not hungry and minimize your stress level. Also, how you sit and sleep can cause the pulling of the muscles and create pain. You may also consider seeing a chiropractor-
I suppose it depends, it you only get them in the summer then it could be blocked sinuses due to hayfever,or it could be eye strain if you watch telly or work on computers. or it could be dehydration, stress, tiredness. I would check it out at the doctors
You could be anemic. which means you have an iron deficiency. That was the case when I was pregnant with my daughter at least. You should take a daily multi-vitamin with iron and drink lots of water. Or you could have a vision problem. If your mind is trying too hard to gain focus on things it can't decipher or see, it will stress out and cause headaches. But recently I was diagnosed with chronic migraines. I was waking up everyday with severe migraines and all I wanted to do was sit in the dark and cry. You should go see a doctor and explain your headaches and they will be able to decipher what the causes are.
if you are getting headaches all the time as you are saying see a Dr. and have it checked out
thank you
see there are many reasons, for guys i have read it once that when they have an urge for s** but they dunhappen to do it, they get headaches, i dunno if it's for gals as well. It might be due to less or more sleep, unusual disturbed patterns and routine of sleeping in night..many reasons, but the best solution is sleep anytime but almost at the same time everyday, and get up in the morning at the same time everyday, drink a lotta water and eat 8-10 almonds in the morning, almonds really helps, as it helped me.
The best thing to do would be to see a doctor.
Wekk you could be stressed out. Have you gone to a doctor? I recently had a miscarriage and GOD did I get headaches after words but I think that it was just stress.
well are you always in the sun , always tired or hydrated .
there could be a NUMBER of reasons! read over this information, write down your symptoms & how often, and talk to your doc if it seems like they may be of concern.
hope all of this info is helpful!!
The most common types of headaches usually are not serious but may occur again and again.
--Tension headaches -- the most common type of headache and are episodes of constant aching, tightness, pressure, and pain around the forehead, temples, or back of the head and neck. Symptoms usually occur on both sides of the head rather than just one side.
Tension headaches usually do not stop a person from doing his or her regular activities. These headaches usually do not cause nausea, vomiting, or sensitivity to light or noise. A tension headache can last anywhere from 30 minutes to several days. Some people experience chronic tension headaches, which means they get a headache on 15 or more days a month.
Tension headaches are related to muscles tightening in the back of the neck or head because of stress, anxiety, fatigue, hunger, anger, poor posture, or overexertion.
Treatment for tension headaches usually includes aspirin, ibuprofen, or other nonprescription pain relievers. Aspirin should not be given to anyone age 20 years or younger because it has been linked to Reye's syndrome, a rare but serious disease that most often affects children. Prescription medications, such as antidepressants, may be needed to treat tension headaches. Additional therapies, including stress management or biofeedback, may reduce or prevent tension headaches
--Cluster headaches -- these are recurring headaches that occur in groups or cycles. The headaches appear suddenly and cause severe, debilitating pain on one side of the head, along with a watery eye and nasal congestion on the affected side of the head. The cause of cluster headaches is unknown. Although there is no cure for cluster headaches, medications can reduce the frequency and duration of the painful headaches.
--Migraine headaches -- Approximately one-third of people who have migraine headaches first began having them as teenagers. are painful, sometimes disabling headaches that are often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light, noise, and smell. These throbbing headaches usually occur on only one side of the head, although the pain can shift from one side of the head to the other, or can occur on both sides at the same time. Migraines involve changes in chemicals and blood vessels in the brain, which trigger pain signals leading to headache and other symptoms.
Migraine headaches tend to recur. A migraine headache typically lasts 4 to 24 hours but in some cases can last up to 3 days. Some people have symptoms, such as visual disturbances, that occur before a headache starts. These symptoms are called a migraine aura.
Some people have several headaches per month; others have headaches much less often. Treatment usually includes medications to prevent a migraine from occurring or to stop a migraine once it begins. In some people, migraines may be triggered by certain foods or smells. Eliminating exposure to these triggers may stop the headaches.
Here's a list of common causes of headaches include:
--Alcohol, caffeine, or other drug use or withdrawal.
--Changes in the levels of chemicals in the body (neurotransmitters).
--Coughing or sneezing.
--Dehydration.
--Dental problems or procedures, such as pain from grinding the teeth or from a root canal.
--Eating or drinking cold foods and fluids.
--Emotional stress.
--Exposure to smoke or fumes from chemicals, including carbon monoxide.
--Eyestrain.
--Fever.
--High altitude. Lower oxygen levels at high altitudes can cause headaches.
--Medical procedures, such as the aftereffects of a lumbar puncture (spinal tap).
--Medications. Many medications can cause headaches.
--Muscle strain in the neck, upper back, or shoulder muscles.
--Upper respiratory infections.
If you have headaches, with these serious symptoms, definitely consult a doc!

--Bleeding in or around the brain
--Brain tumor, which causes swelling within the brain.
--Infection in the brain (encephalitis) or of the membrane surrounding the brain and spinal cord (meningitis).
--Stroke, a problem that occurs when a blood vessel (artery) that supplies blood to the brain bursts or is blocked by a blood clot.
--A rupture of a blood vessel with bleeding in or around the brain (aneurysm)
Other health conditions that can cause or contribute to headaches include:
--Alcohol, caffeine, or drug abuse, overuse, or withdrawal.
--Fibromyalgia, a condition that causes widespread muscle and soft tissue pain and tenderness.
--Glaucoma, an eye disease that damages the nerves at the back of the eye.

--Low calcium levels in the blood (hypocalcemia) or overactivity of the gland that helps control the release of calcium into the blood (hyperparathyroidism).
--Lyme disease, a bacterial infection spread by certain types of ticks.
--Mental health problems, such as anxiety or depression.
--Problems with pregnancy, such as severe high blood pressure (preeclampsia).
