For the past few days I have been getting frequent bad headaches. They normally start around 11.30am or 5pm. They last quite a few hours, and the only way to get rid of them is by sleeping. But I cant sleep when I'm at work (in a cafe) so I have to put up with it. I have a good sleeping pattern and healthy diet, so doubt if its anything to do with them. And I'm barely on the computer or watch tv, so it cant be eye strain either. I'm also not stressed about anything.
I used to get a lot of headaches early/mid this year, usually when I was at work somewhere else (also in a cafe) and I thought it may have been down to stressy work or caffiene.
Right now, its not either of them. I've kept a log of my headaches. I take paracetal but they never work.
Any ideas?

But perhaps you should have an eye test or they could be set off by stress of what you eat coz i know chocolate can cause headaches.
*x*l'il miss socks*x* - I take vitimin C tablets daily. I also have to take iron tablets but it says nothing on the leaflet about headaches, just stomach upsets etc. I'm on the pill, but doubt if thats given me headaches.
angel1886 - Yes, I will think about that one. It could help. But I dont have any money for glasses. lol. Typical.
Fish_Socks_1 - Yes I do drink a lot of water. I have been keeping a log of my headaches. I dont have lots of caffiene/sugar or chocolate so it won't be that.
james_lacey10 - Yeah, thanks for that..... I'm looking for advice, not stupid pictures! :rolleyes:
Ibruprofen works on pain, but its not all that strong by itself. 2 X 200mg of it mixed with 300mg Asprin works well for a headache but is quite hard on the stomach.
Yep, been taking that as well, but still doesnt work.
However you could take Nurofen Plus and paracetamol with codine at the same time. My wife does that every now and then and it seems to work.
