What kind of headache hurts more when you bend over?
I know it's Fall and allergy time for most. I've had a bad headache for days. Tylenol just isn't cutting it anymore so I've gone to Advil Cold/Sinus pills. That seems to ease it a hair. But when I bend over it feels like someone kicked me square in the eye. The headache changes sides, but is usually over one of my eyebrows and that temple. Is this sinus headaches or migraines or what?

1. It's your neck muscles getting more pressure on them to cause that to happen. Your neck muscles go to the top of your head for it's movements. When the muscles are tight up there they pull on other muscles to surround your brain with pain, your headache. When the muscles don't have give in them anymore they pull on the area where they are attached to the skull and for you that's over your eyebrows and temple area. To get rid of your headache you have to free up the muscles in your neck and here's how to do that:Neck
Put your hands alongside your head so your thumbs are on the front of the muscle under your ear and your fingers are on the back of the muscle behind your neck. Squeeze your thumb and fingers together and hold. Relax your body. When your fingers and thumb touch, about two minutes, slowly lower your head as far as you can, release the pressure but hold your neck lowered for another 30 seconds.
For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.
