<p>I’m a not so healthy 32 yr old male. I get severe headaches that make me want to jump out a window. I’ve learned over the years that certain foods, exercise, drinking(only sometimes) all bring on a headache. My main concern is that no matter how bad the headache is it gets even worse if i lay down. Is this something to be concerned with? I don’t take any OTC meds because they just don’t work. What can I do short of beheading myself to stop this?
Turn all the light off, sit in a darkened corner, put on noise canceling headphones if you can’t get a quiet spot. I’d take a little bit of the OTC anyway, it might dull something that isn’t as bad but still on the pile of stress for you.
If you normally have things with caffeine in them, keep the caffeine level the same. Fluxes in caffeine can make them even worse. (at least they do with mine.)
You can check out the webmd site, but you probably know all of it.

I would see a doctor though, they can try some not over the counter stuff and see if one will work for you. Track how often you get them and how long they last, and take the list into the doctor with you. Depending on frequency they might give you something at first sign or something to just keep them away.

Sounds like migraines. Go see your general practitioner and get an appointment to see a neurologist. They can rule out anything more serious and give you meds for migraines if that’s what it is. Have you tried to relax upright in a recliner? Maybe keeping your head above your heart will lessen the pain. It might be high blood pressure on top of migraines.

I had the same problem (NOT KIDDING) what you need to do is go to the hospital and see the neurologist. Ask them about ametriptaline–i tried a billion meds and this is the only one that worked!!! Also drink water and eat less sugar

Hey… First you need to try and figure out the reason for these headaches ~ I remember sometime go i usually wake with terrible headaches but then as the day progress the pain would get less & less then it goes away and it was like a cycle. And i read an article of someone with a similar situation that pointed out taking pills only hid the problem it didn’t solve it and i thought it to be sooo true. So i started drinking more ‘water’, eating more fruits n vegetables & eliminated caffeine from my diet and trust me i started seeing improvements. An elderly person also told me and will share with you "eat raw peanuts", i never understood how that would work but it did and that was most important…
