I've had on and off headaches for a few weeks. Help?

Update:

It's not really bad, just annoying.

    Either low sugar, loud noises, high blood pressure(caused from stress in your life), or not enough sleep, or to much sleep, it could be any of those!

    There are many causes of headaches, with stress being the number 1 cause. Other reasons include allergies, dehydration, hunger, viruses such as the flu, and blood pressure issues, to name a few.

    I do know that the past few weeks a lot of people are suffering from allergy related headaches, they come and go, the pain is usually bilateral, it feels more like pressure than a throb, and over the counter NSAID medications offer little relief.

    The best treatment for a allergy related headache is a simple decongestant like Sudafed (the store generic works just fine).

    You also may be dehydrated. Do you drink plenty of water and other non-alcoholic fluids? (alcoholic beverages will cause dehydration)
