I keep replying and asking if you have improved your posture at all?

They will go in time but the more you worry the worse you will get as you are making yourself stressed and tense.

try to accept that the tests are fine and that they would have found a problem. Thats what i did and after a while the head aches went. Also if you are taking parecetomal ( i was ) they can cause head aches

Hi

Hope your okay

Just wanted to say that if you have tension headaches caused by anxiety and the whole viscous fear cycle then the headache isnt going to just stop becuae you know its a tension headache...!! Its going to stay more than likely until you stop worrying what it is!!!

I have headaches every day and have got to the point where I'm used to them being there so I dont worry about them (CT scan came back normal). If you have a bad posture when sitting or lying down it will affect the headache and stiff neck, also if you're tired or having bouts of insomnia, this will also cause it

just take aspirin or ibuprofen (with food or your tummy will ache) and it will eventually go away - but do not mix aspirin and ibuprofen, take one or the other and read the label first

Actually any painkiller can cause headaches if taken long term but paracetomol is easily the one drug that can be taken for quite along time before causing rebound headaches,the worst one to take is Codeine as it`s quite addictive and is bad for rebound headaches.

migrastick is just like a lavender rub- my mum bought it from a health shop the lavender helps relieve tension

u rub it into your temple and forhead

all the best
