Hi, my girlfriend is 25 years old, she currently has extreme pain in her head, a constant pain that does not stop. It does not come in waves, it is constant. This has not happened before and it was in the morning time just when she woke up. Non prescription painkillers does not seem to help.

Apply an ice pack to the painful area of your head. Try placing it on your forehead, temples, or the back of your neck. Take a warm bath or shower; take a nap; or take a walk. Ask someone to rub your neck and back, or treat yourself to a massage. Apply gentle, steady rotating pressure to the painful area of your head with your index finger and/or thumb. Maintain pressure for seven to 15 seconds, then release. Repeat as needed. Rest, sit, or lie quietly in a low-lit room. Close your eyes and try to release the tension in your back, neck, and shoulders.
