Gave in last night and took pain killers.

I always seem to have headaches, but they could be stress related.
Hmmm... have you started any new meds or anything? Besides the antibiotics I mean? Just asking because I had the same issue. They say "sudden, unusual headaches" should probably be looked into, but sheez, if I went to the doctor for every "sudden and unusual" thing that happens to my body, I'd be there all the time.

I only get these in the winter and I think I know the cause.

Because on a sunny day in the morning the glare catches and I get a pain in right eye(lazy eye) next day wake up with a nagging headache.

Tried anti glare glasses but no use.
You know what's funny is my initial question is rather silly because headaches are one of the most common pains that afflict man. They could be from something serious, but most times they're not.

Speaking of glasses, I'm supposed to be wearing corrective lenses, but I put them on and take them right back off. They make me feel dizzy, I can't wear them.

No Linda, no new meds. I have enormous stress here, and as said, been coughing for so many weeks.

It's not been so bad for a few days.

Well maybe it's getting better then. You know, sometimes when I have weird physical things going on that don't really point to anything specific, I always tell myself, "This too shall pass."

And it usually does.

I agree

And it's odd that Jazzi mentioned coughing because I've been doing that a lot lately as well. I get this crazy tickling in my throat and I just start coughing, sometimes to the point of it making me gag. It's annoying.

I have had two viral infections since late October. I wonder though if I need new reading glasses, as I'm struggling. Am due for a sight test, but haven't booked it as yet.

Re: Headaches: do you suffer from them and what kind do you get?

When I was getting a lot of head aches I was told it was the nerves in the back of my head. Then one day when I was at the doctors some one told me about the herb feverfew, I looked this up on Amazon and saw they did this in a tablet form. I brought some took one a day and ever since then I don't get any headaches. They have really helped me to get on with my life

Yes Vera, I seem to remember now about Feverfew. Might give it a try. Thanks for the tip.

I figured out what it is. It's my blood pressure med. My doctor told me cough and dry heaves are common side effects to the medication.
