Headaches do not go away despite the use of painkillers. This can be very frustrating and distressing. Headaches that do not respond to medication can have several causes, such as tension headaches, migraines, or underlying factors such as stress, lack of sleep or dehydration. It is important to understand what the cause may be and find other ways to relieve the headache. Want to know what you can do if painkillers don't help headaches? More info...
Possible causes of persistent headaches:
- Tension headache: Muscle tension in the neck, shoulders or scalp may persist even when using painkillers.
- Migraine: Migraine headaches often do not respond to standard painkillers and require specific medication.
- Dehydration: A lack of moisture can aggravate headaches; adequate hydration is essential.
- Lack of sleep: Chronic sleep deprivation can lead to persistent headaches that cannot be easily relieved with medication.
- Stress and emotional tension: Prolonged stress can lead to persistent headaches that are difficult to combat with painkillers alone.
Alternative ways to relieve persistent headaches:
- Hydration: Drink water regularly to prevent dehydration and reduce headaches.
- Heat and cold compresses: A cold compress on the forehead or a warm compress on the neck can relieve muscle tension and headaches.
- Relaxation techniques: Breathing exercises, meditation and yoga help reduce muscle tension and stress.
- Light massage: Self-massage of the temples, neck and shoulders can relieve tension and reduce headaches.
- Rest and sleep: Sufficient rest and a consistent sleep routine are important to allow the body to recover and reduce headaches.
