Does anyone know any good headache Remedies?
I've had a headache on and off for a few days. It feels like pressure in my head (I don't think it's sinus related). I took Advil and it's not working. What is something I can take that is stronger than Advil, or are there any other home remedies I can try?
It's a headache with dizziness

1. When Advil doesn't work for my headaches I take Excedrin Migraine and it works pretty quick.2. a nap mixed with tylenol
3. pure peppermint oil,not the stuff on the baking aisle in the grocery,the aromatherapy type. Dab a little I mean a little on you head where it hurts and the pain will be gone very fast.
4. For a headache with dizzieness.. i've actually had a million. I went to the doctor and got muscle relaxers because it turned out to be stress headaches. I would see a doctor if it keeps going, but try self massaging your temples and stressed areas in your neck. Also take a warm bath, stretch and then relax all of your muscles. After that i usually just take some benadryl and take a nice nap. Always wake up feeling refreshed..unless I sleep wrong. Good luck. I know pressure headaches Suck. I found out mine lately were caused by an ear infection.. Maybe go see the doctor just in case.
5. icy hot patches.
hot towel.
hot bath, anti stress beads.
pillow massager.
neck rolls.
aleve liquid gels.
Hope this helps(:

6. If you really need relief asap, you can take up to 4 capsules of Advil at one time - when the dosage is 200mg, it's okay to take up to 800mg which is four tablets. That might cut the edge off . Try that a couple of times and see if that helps. You might want to try doing some neck muscle stretches to see if that doesn't bring some relief. http://www.howtostretch.com/neck.htm).
Depending on where you live it is possible that your headache may be sinus related but not the usual. In the U.S. right now there are a lot of bad storms, which are low pressure systems. You can actually get pressure headaches from the low pressure system coming in - especially this time of year, when everyone has the heat on and the air indoors is so much drier.
7. Benedryl and a nap. It could be stress, sinus, or migraine.
