Stress Headaches

  • Anyone else getting bad stress head aches (worse then normal) with the weightloss.
    I dont know if its lack of suger or that I have had a really bad mega stressful and emotional couple of days?

    Any ideas? and any idea how to shift it? pain killers are not touching it
  • could be caffeine withdraw or hormons. Sorry you are suffering, headaches suck.
  • Do you work out? Sometimes when I push myself too hard during workouts, I get headaches. To remedy that, I eat some cucumber slices and it seems to alleviate the headache somewhat when aspirin or whatever doesn't work. Maybe give cucumber a try and see if it works?
  • thanks everyone and I will defiantly try the cucumber tomorrow if its still bad i dont have any in the house at the moment
  • I would recommend seeing a doctor if your symptoms persist. I have seen neurologists about my tension headaches, but I think my primary care doctor has helped me more than they have! What kind of relaxation exercises/techniques can you use to ease the tension, like deep breathing or imagery, etc?

    Good luck! Keep us posted
  • thanks honey, I am off to see the mental health team this morning the head aches where stress and it all come to a big melt down on sunday. I still have the head ache but the docs think its emotional.
