Hi, well, your headache could be because of multiple reasons including dietary, lifestyle, stress, anxiety, migraine, sinusitis, hypertension, acidity, personal or professional issues or any other physical problem with you. Should you feel that your headache is increasing day by day and is simply intolerable, do not hesitate to meet up a general physician in person. Should he/ she require you to refer any other doctor specializing in ent or neuro or so, you should follow as advised. In general, however, do streamline your diet and avoid sweet, oily, fried and spicy stuff. Also, restrict tea, coffee, carbonated beverages et al. Cold, hot and spicy drinks and foods be best avoided. Try avoiding pollution, smoke, dusty areas including direct blast or exposure to hot/ cold air. Consume more of fresh fruits & vegetables and stay hydrated, drink 8 - 10 glasses of water daily. Amongst vegetables, onion, garlic, bitter gourd, carrot, beetroot, spinach et al help in inflammatory conditions like sinusitis & also infections. Amla helps improve immunity and protects against infections too. At the same time, streamline your lifestyle, exercise daily for at least 30 minutes, and try reducing your stress levels at work and also at home. Pressing the tip of one thumb (of left hand) against the tip of the other thumb (of right hand), for about a minute or two also helps reduce the headache. Tapotement (lightly) on the scalp too helps dissipate the headache. Take help of a physiotherapist/ masseur should you require. Do ensure to relax and de-stress everyday through yoga and meditation as relaxation relieves you of the stress and strain and is equally important for overall health. Hope this helps.
