Headaches, how to stop them. Options

[Retrogressive]

I know a lot of you get them, I do but its because I look at the 'puter screen all day. But recently I've gotten these headaches that "tick" for lack of a better explaination. A few people I know have also had this phenomenom but my doctors have no idea what it could possibly be... thus they put me on medicene for seizures et cetera, thank god my mother wouldn't allow me to take it because it had horrible side effects. (This ticking is in the back of the head like a drip drip sound but horribly nausiating). The doctor taught me a trick that I'm sure most are aware of, when I get these terrible migraines, just put my hand over my mouth and breathe in and out. She explained the the carbon dioxide helped soothe the headache. Well it worked (that and hard doses of Excedrin). So for all you headache suffers out there just like me, I offer you this.

But has anyone else suffered from these "ticking headaches?"

I get those sometimes and it hurts like heck. My friend also got one and we tried soothing it with ice it so didn't help

I try not to get them in the first place.....I have learned to try and relax my mind and try and takes lots of breaks from the computer.....I got a doctors note to my boss that I needed more computer breaks....and I use a cold wet wash cloth at work for my face and drink lots of water

Yes kind of, except with this unnerving ticking sound in the middle of the brain.
