I tend to get headaches on almost a daily basis….I do eat a lot of chocolate, have a lot of anxiety, and I’ve pretty much had headaches since my early teens. I get them very easily and it’s very bothersome especially since I have 3 children. It makes me so irritable and I snap at them. I don’t like to do that to them but I’m sick of taking Tylenol, Excedrin etc. I’d like to try a natural route. The thing is I know chocolate can trigger headaches but I’m seriously addicted. Chocolate is my fix…..if I’m so stressed out it actually makes me get relief. I don’t know what else to do. I can’t really sit quietly with music and meditate with three children ages 4 and under so I need some kind of remedy that doesn’t take a lot of time and peace and quiet. lol I’m desperate! Thanks!

Lately, I’ve been getting major headaches. Every time I take some pills to deal with the pain. My concern is that this will have a bad circumstance, since I am doing this on a daily basis. What are some best ways to get rid of major headaches without taking pills? Thanks so much for the help.

Ok, so I have been experiencing intense headaches on an almost daily basis for about 3 weeks (there were maybe 2-3 days where it did not occur). They always occur in the evening, usually around 9-10 pm and last about 2 hours. Occasionally, I will also get one around noon as well.

Everyone is telling me that they are migraines, but I am not sure due to the fact that they don’t last 4-24 hours (what a migraine is supposed to last), and they are so predictable as to what time of day they occur.

The pain is ALWAYS on the left side of my head, and sometimes radiates towards my eye socket and nose. The pain is unaffected by OTC medications. I have tried ibuprofen, aspirin, tylenol, Excedrin Migraine, Alkaseltzer pain relief, and nothing seems to help. I have also tried caffeine, which doesn’t help to relieve the pain any faster.

I do not have insurance, and am afraid to go to the ER because of the $, but I may have no choice. What should I do? How much will an ER trip cost me?
