    I always get dull, annoying headaches that won't go away for anything... Any ideas how to get rid of them?

    I have those kind of headaches quite often too. The best advice I can give is that if the headaches are almost constant don't use over the counter drugs to treat them unless they get really bad. Reason being that OTCs aren't meant for that purpose and you can develop a tolerance for them. Also they might GIVE you a headache if you take them too much.

    Also you can try things such as improving your diet, cutting back on stimulants such as caffine, moderate exercise, and etc... Also try to remove stressful factors as much as you can.

    If it impairs your ability to function or becomes chronic you might want to see a doctor about it. Today I was prescribed some meds that I have to take everyday as it prevents the headaches from comming back.

    I see a chiropractor for my headaches. It totally depends what is causing them, but even with hormonal headaches, my chiro can help my body make them go away. Either way, you gotta figure out what is causing them in the first place. Certain foods give me headaches, too, so I don't eat them anymore.

    Reflexology is really helpful. Indian Head Masage too.

    i was going to say chiropractor too. he's worked wonders on my headache - i'd go with a pounding head and five minutes later, have no ache at all. also i know that accupuncture is really successful with headaches - i utilize this too.

    I have headaches cuz of my low pressure, so i heal them with coffee. It can be hormonic also, it depends of how old are you - if you are a teen and still developing, the pain will go away since you grow up a little. And sinus too - esspecially now in winter when it gets colder they can be inflamed so you can take medicines for them and the pain disappears.
    Thats it :)
