Headaches are the absolute worst

I hate them and I get headaches very often, which is frustrating. But recently, I was talking to some of my friends and apparently a lot of people get headaches just as much as me. 

How to prevent headaches:

- drink water (this might be obvious, but dehydration DOES cause headaches, speaking from experience)

- don't wear tight hairstyles (ex. tight ponytails, braids, etc)

- exercise

- sleep regularly

- cut back on caffeine


Symptoms of a headache or migraine:

- sensitivity to light and sound

- mood changes

- vomiting

- head pain

- eye pain


Ways to treat headaches/migraines:

- take pain killers (ibuprofen, Advil)

- drink tea (green tea is the best type)

- apply an ice pack to the back of your neck (it reduces inflammation)

- apply an ice pack on your forehead (sometimes this helps me)

- massage your temples

- manage your emotions (ex. stress, anger)

- take a nap


I hope this helps!
