headaches...

[sussexlad]

no not from customers!

 

does anyone else suffer from them?

 

i normally dont, but yesterday and today off work and im getting fed up. anything i do that requires concentration, driving, using saw etc seems to them off across my forehead and behind my eyes, and the sound of my saw offends me greatly at the moment:thumbdown:

i would have never considered taking time off for a headache but it cuts my attention levels down and as i work on my own im just not risking it. paracetemol etc do nothing so im just sitting in a dark room bored so thought i would have a rant!

Have you thought about having your eyesight tested or retested?

 

I sometimes suffer them, but mostly from the fumes while doing hedge cutting at the moment

Are you rehydrating enough? Easy oversight when it's not so hot, we tend to think we don't need so many fluids, but we do.

My wife suffers from migraines and your symptoms sound very similar. It might be worth talking to your pharmacist and try some Imigram.

 

Hope you get it sorted.

[sussexlad]

hey guys,

 

kentjames yeah i had thought about that, but not got round to going yet. my mrs had headaches when reading and they sorted that out.

 

andy i do try to keep on top of my hydration at work as its one of my pet hates to get dehydrated, but i do know what you mean, it does almost feel like a dehydration headache.

 

woodworks yeah im guessing its something similair, i went to docs this morning and he couldnt see anything wrong,just said it should pass by itself.

who knows, im hoping it does though!

Try anadin ibuprofen gets rid of my headache in 20 min but i think you can only buy them online, may be wrong. An eye test will be a good start and less time on the computer helps

Have you considered blocked sinuses? Pseudoephedrin, sold under various names such as Sudafed, will soon tell you as your nose will run a while after taking it.

I used to suffer a fair bit with migraines when I was younger - not so muchnow but still occaisionally. Yours sounds similar in that it's behind the eyes and knocks your concentration.

 

I find that 2 paracetomol and 2 ibruprofen (cheap supermarket grade ones) usually do a good job of either getting rid or at least clming it down enough to finish off the day and get home.

 

If I'm not working then a couple of cocodamol do the trick but then I'm no good for anything.

Eyesight check.

 

And hydration. Drinking fluids is the most common thing for a headache, but also drinking too much can also be as bad.

 

Get your eyes tested, do find that sitting in front of the telly or computer brings on a headache aswell. If so get checked.
