Have you tried laying off of the pills ?

Are you eating healthily? Eating too many processed foods can do that to you.

There are number of reasons for having headaches that OTC pain relievers can't squash. If you've only used Tylonel (acetaminophim), try anoter NSAID, like Aleve (naproxen) or Motrin (Ibuprofen). If those don't work...

It could be a sinsus headache as mentioned above. Try an OTC remedy. This is allergy season, afterall, and many people suffer allergies symptoms like headache pain and pressure this time of year.

The headache could also be caused by elminating something from your diet that your body has grown dependent on, like caffiene. The solution is to have some caffiene and then wean yourself off gradually, instead of cold turkey.

Do you need your eyes checked? Vision problems can often cause headaches.

If none of that is the problem or works, talk with your doctor. Headaches are also a symptom of some biggies. For instance, high blood pressure, tumors, or other things...

honesty, same

pills don't always help me either

but i think for me its stress. because i used to never get headaches

maybe do things that will relax you

like call a friend if your upset. if things seem too crazy take a bubble bath, read a book, go on a walk, paint a picture

it might help

i hope things work outxoxoxox

I take the Advil Liqui-Gels whenever I have a headache because I think they work faster (except I take 3 at a time).  However, I also think exercising on a regular basis helps with headaches.  

i had headaches like that for months, finally my doctor figured out that it was allergies.  soon after that my family discovered we had a severe mold problem in the basement.  that was all taken care of, no more headaches.  [ps, depending on the location it could be a tooth ache bothering your jaw]

If it's around that time of the month, take iron supplements. Females get headaches when they have too much copper and not enough iron during their period. I tried it, It works for me.

i had a low-grade headache for two weeks before i finally went to the dr.  turned out it was a sinus infection, just needed some antibiotics and i was good.

also my headaches (when they are not sinus infections), only respond to ibuprofen (like Advil), which works differently than Tylenol.  aspirin found in drugs like Tylenol work as blood thinners, ibuprofen works as an anti-inflammatory.

I usually just eat, then take Advil like suggested above, and then drink lots of water after. Sometimes, maybe some sleep if the time for it could be fit into the schedule, or maybe a nice hot cup of tea towards the morning to ease whatever it is. 

maybe it has to do with ur stress level

I get headaches like that, as well.  They aren't strong enough to be migraines, but MAN do they make me feel like crap.  And I can still function (most of the time), but they're bad enough that they're a big distraction, and I don't WANT to function. 

Excedrin Migraine works SOMETIMES.  And I've sometimes found success in mixing OTC pain meds.  One Excedrin Migraine, one Aleve Liquigel, one Advil Liquigel.  That works sometimes. 

I went to the doctor about it, and she said they sounded like migraines, but not at the same time--because I'm not sensitive to light, etc.  She gave me migraine medicine (I've tried it all--it works to get rid of the headaches, but it makes the rest of my body feel like I have a hangover.  Frova, so far, has been the best at getting rid of the headaches while not making me feel so bad.)  She also gave me a low grade prescription pain pill called Ultracet, and that usually works, too.  You might want to go to the doctor to see if they can prescribe something like that for you. 

My doctor also said that my headaches are probably caused by hormones because I didn't really start getting them until I got on the pill.  And I'm almost always guranteed to have a nasty headache two days before I start my period.  The Frova works for that.  Axert, another migraine medicine, helps, too.  Imitrex works well, but like I said--hangover. 

Really, the only thing that GURANTEES me to get rid of it is sleep--but I can't exactly sleep when I'm at work, and I hate wasting my night sleeping as soon as I get home from work when I could be doing other things. 

As for natural remedies, magnesium supplements are supposed to help with headaches and migraines.  I don't know if it actually DOES, though, because I usually forget to take one in the morning, even though I usually intend to. 

fortunately, I don't suffer from neither migraine nor any other kind of headache. But it happens sometimes, so I try to find out if I've eaten something unhealthy. Anyway, when it happens, I do something that really, really works for me: in my bedroom, I turn the lights off, sit on the floor in a comfortable position, straight backs, and breath rightly and deeply (inhaling and exhaling through the nose) during about 5 minutes. After that, I do that yoga position - upside down over my head, legs stretched (leaning them on the wall if I can't manage to balancing them on the air), always breathing correctly - for at least 3 minutes. It works for me, that is, for occasional headaches only! 

I get all sorts of different kinds of headaches and have been getting migraines since 2nd grade and there are a variety of OTC medicines you could try.  Besides Tylenol like others said there is Naproxin & Ibuprofen.  Most of the time Tylenol doesn't work for me because I had it so much as a child, but Ibuprofen helps most of the time.  Naproxin seems to work best on my stress headaches & the ones I get around my period.  Then on top of those there are also different Excedrin medicines.  I recently fell in love with Excedrin Menstrual Complete, but have used the express release Excedrin Tension Headache medicine for awhile and love how fast it works usually within 15-30 min.  For some of my lighter migraines I can get away with using Excedrin Migraine and also sometimes I use plain old Excedrin Extra Strength.  For some reason the combination of things in Excedrin seem to make a difference.  Like others said though if you are getting headaches frequently and didn't before you should probably talk to you doctor as there could be all sorts of causes.  Sadly my main trigger is stress and that is hard to get rid of, so instead I manage the headaches during times when I can't reduce stress.
