Well see what the tests say and ask your doctor. I have found Motrin IB to be the best for me. It works quickly and is potent stuff, over the counter. Good luck!

I prefer to take 800Mg’s of Ibuprofen and then rub vapor rub all over my shoulders, neck, nape and behind my ears…It is like an instant massage.
I hope you find out what is causing the headaches and that it is nothing serious.
Oh wait, do you have High Blood Pressure? A lot of people do not realize High Blood Pressure can cause headaches, so I would get that checked also.

Headache is a pain in the head, scalp or neck. Headaches can be
caused by minor problems like eyestrain, lack of coffee or more
serious reasons like head injury, brain tumors, encephalitis and
meningitis. Taking painkillers continuously can have harmful side
effects, so it is better to modify your lifestyle. More information
