Now that I'm pregnant I try my best to avoid medicines. First thing I always try to do is drink water as headaches is usually a sign of dehydration. Next I try a neck and facial massage (it's better if I can ask someone else to do it for me!) Then if that doesn't help I usually try to eat something and take a nap. If sleeping it off is not an option and I tried everything else then I take a Tylenol or acetaminophen.
How do you usually get rid of headaches?

If I can feel it coming on soon enough, taking some Tylenol or acetaminophen quickly contains it, otherwise I will still need to do that plus cover my eyes or go into a dark room for a small bit.
I tend to suffer from headaches quite frequently that turn into migraines due to me having fibromyalgia and some of them can be so bad it can put me out for days.
I find staying hydrated, taking pain medication and laying in a dark room helps but avoiding stress helps too.

I hardly get headaches. I learned lately dehydration causes headaches. I drink plenty of water and the headache disappears.
I just need to sleep. However, it can be caused by muscle spasms in our neck and shoulder areas. So, we need to loosen the muscles with the help of Physiotherapists.
