What's the best treatment for tension headaches?

Do you have access to Excedrin? Excedrin Tension Headache works miracles. Other than that, take a hot shower. It usually helps alleviate some of the pain. By the way, do you drink a lot of coffee or tea when you are at work that you don't drink on your days off? Then your headaches might be caffeine-withdrawal symptoms (it happens!).

know the feeling. My job is pretty stressful. I have taken up T'ai Chi and i find that it gives me the ability to be able to relax which helps considerably. The beauty of T'ai Chi is that you can get up in the morning, do a few simple exercises and relax and recharge your batteries at the same time.

Headache is among the most common medical complaints. Whenever a headache strikes drink lots of water .Lack of oxygen may have lead to your headache. Place a few ice-cubes in a polythene bag, and apply this on the forehead and temples. Check out http://useinfo-headache.blogspot.com/ for more info
