Best treatment for headaches

[cm96]

I keep getting headaches... although they are not super bad or anything, they are annoying. What do you guys use to treat them? Ideally something to make them go quickly?

recent development?
if so, get yourself to the docs

Aspirin is my painkiller of choice for a headache. Taking 3 (max dose but check the packet!) at the first sign of one has about a 90% success rate in staving them off.

I have osteoarthritis and have strong painkillers for that but they do nothing at all for headaches. Smarties would be as effective.
I used to get terrible migraines but I've learnt my triggers and I take migraleave. Providing I take them as soon as I feel it starting I can now mostly ward them off or at least stop them progressing.

When are you getting them?

Waking up- see GP, maybe dentist to check if grinding teeth.

Halfway through the day? Eye test (if fact, eye test regardless- it's the first thing the GP will ask for).

Drink plenty of water, take electrolytes, if you use a screen a lot- take regular breaks (20x20x20 rule, every 20mins look 20ft away for 20secs)
