how to quickly fix a tension headache?
I've had an awful awful awful day and I think I've cried myself into the most intense tension headache I have ever experienced. What can I do?

1. Smoke some pot.2. For some people smoking pot helps, but for others it makes it worse as it just intensifies everything you're feeling. So unless you're a stoner or it's worked for you in the past, don't do that.
Take two advil/tylenol (or vicoden, percoset, or oxy if you have them) and lay down and put a hot rag over your forehead. Also distract yourself from whatever you're thinking about because thinking about it will make it worse. For me engaging in constant conversation, whether in person or through IM is a great distraction. You could also take a couple benadryl to put yourself to sleep, and when you wake up it will likely be gone. Animals help too!
