Title: Treatments give mixed results on headaches Post by mike_s on Aug 17th, 2021 at 8:51pm
Yesterday I began having a headache on the right side of my head which first was next to my eye then the pain moved to behind my temple. I would say its a cluster headache,
So then I tried a whole host of things. Since I couldn't sleep last night, I ate two whole cans of beans to make my fiber levels decent. I then tried webber naturals magnesium citrate 150mg about once an hour for a few hours. It kinda nulled my headache but some pain was still there. I also tried jamieson vitamin B-50 and jamieson vitamin B-12 100mcg both yesterday and today. They didn't do much. I added one 100mg co-enzyme Q10 from Life brand. I also drank water like crazy and hit the washroom hourly on average because maybe I had something toxic in me because before these headaches started, I recently had two large fruit cups and one ingredient in them is ascorbic acid. Maybe I'm allergic to it, idk. Now fast forward to today. I continued with water but not as much. I added another vitamin B-50 and B-12 (same bottles). But here's the thing that really got to me about today: I went to the grocery store for foods that could help me. Inside the store, my headache almost cleared up by itself but its still dull-like. (I'm guessing with covid season going on, the store installed specialized air systems. HVAC?). Before and after the store, I was biking and the headache was a bit more intense but thankfully not intense enough where I have to stop biking completely, but I biked slower than normal. Once I returned home, I tried a juice full of berries and 1/2 a banana. Turned out that when I was drinking it, my headache intensified. The same happened earlier in the day when I ate 1/2 a banana. I never had a reaction to bananas before this headache episode started. One thing that helped mostly was eating a bag of chipits dark chocholate chips. I picked the brand with the highest iron content and nearly ate the whole bag. My breathing was a bit better and headache was duller for the most part. I then took another magnesium and my headache kinda got worse again. Then I took vitamin D3+K2 combo, and based on online sources, I may be under (because usually I take 2000 IU but today I took 7000 IU) Each tablet is 1000 IU vitamin D and 120mcg K2 in coconut oil. One thing that helped right after is a glass of milk. Makes me wonder if I'm protein deficient. I also tried a glass of carrot juice for vitamin A but that did nothing. Both days I sniffed peppermint and rubbed some on my temple. That did nothing. I also tried my own netipot experiment and that didn't help either I don't want to go to the doctor because mask mandates are in effect and I'm not ready to suffocate in the doctor's office for maybe an hour just for an answer, and besides I need a natural solution. What else can I try to get rid of my headache for good? |

Headaches are invariably a sign that something is wrong and it's terrifically important they be checked out by a doctor, preferably a headache specialist, to ensure it's nothing serious.
It might be an hour in the waiting room but that may well be a worthy investment in your future. |
