Ibuprofen and caffeine. After consuming, lay down and try to nap until the caffeine hits.
Sleep
Sometimes, I've found that headaches can be caused by muscle tension or aches. I grind my teeth at night, for example, and if I forget to wear my mouthguard, I have headaches the next day. Often the tension is hard to spot until it's gone - I speculate that this is part of why sleeping tends to help with headaches.
If this is the cause, I've found that a strategy to identify and relax areas of tension is to work through an area and consciously tense the muscles, and then relax. It feels like turning something off and on again. Like if I've been doing computer work, my muscles around my eyes may be tired, and tensing the area for a few seconds and then releasing can help reduce that.
Cup of coffee and a beer.
Mixing an upper with a downer. Got it.
Water paracetemol wand sleep. Dont look at a screen either that doesnt help.
That's a very interesting type of sleep
better rest than dmt 2cb saber sleep.
< deleted. pls find info on fb/yt > ..
find the cause (inflamation, etc)
A Guillotine.
Paracetamol. Make sure you are well hydrated and a bit fed as well.
The quickest way I got rid of a headache was when I ate salt.
I had a terrible headache, and my mom told me that headaches can sometimes be connected to having too little salt.
So I poured some salt in my hand and licked it up, and within seconds the headache just lifted.
It was fantastic.
So if your headache is due to having too little salt, you can try this
Agree with the others here.
For future prevention, if you have money and since it's a tension headache - you might consider some corrective massage.
If you regularly consume caffeine and haven't recently: caffeine.
If you regularly consume nicotine but haven't recently: nicotine.
If you regularly consume any drug, really, but haven't recently: youre probably experiencing withdrawal; the most common side effects from withdrawal of most substances is a headache.
Water, cbg, a little caffeine, aleve, gentle exercise like a walk, try to nap in a dark quiet room, prescription meds.
Sleep
A very long nap and some carbs
Caffeine, ibuprofen and a long walk combo helps me sometimes. I'm pissed they no longer sell ibuprofen with codeine here, that shit used to help me real fast.
For me it's two 200 mg Ibuprofen.
Two 250 mg acetaminophen works, but not as well.
Aspirin kinda sucks for me in this role so I don't use it.
Drink water, watch your salt intake, add caffeine (bonus ingredient in Excedrin).

As other's have said, hydration. But that's only if you're dehydrated. There is a pressure point near the base of your thumb, a bit towards your pointer finger. You can look it up for more specifics. I find that hitting that pressure point helps about 20% of my headaches.
Lots of water, a quality meal and fresh air.
I typically go for a hike.
What kind of headache is it?
What do you mean?
Like a migraine, sinus, pressure, or tension. Did anything seem to cause it? Does anything make it worse?
Tension. Nothing seems to have made it worse, just got progressively more noticeable.
Stretch, yoga, meditate.
I do a lot of face-to-face interaction at work, and I started getting tension headaches from the minor smiling and face control. When I notice I'm tensing my ears and scalp, I try to be mindful about relaxing them. If you're not experienced with mindful meditation, you might try a 5-minute "body scan" exercise to get familiar with targeted relaxation. You don't have to do the whole exercise every time, but it helps to learn what "relaxing your scalp" feels like.
My doctor also prescribed me diclofenac gel, which is a topical NSAID like Ibuprofen. It's usually prescribed for arthritis pain. I'm bald, so I can put it on the top and back of my head. It's completely changed my workday. I'm less exhausted at the end of the day. My scalp might be tightening but I can't feel it.
Water, and sleep it off.
In my experience.
It pays to drink a glass of water before bed after an evening of alcohol.
Eat a steak before going to bed too, in that case. Meat works wonders for hangovers.
Don't forget the wet socks!
?
You sure? My wallet has always gotten smaller the next morning after drinking alcohol, whether or not I drank water before bed.
