hi all, i have just started getting headaches at the same time every day, they seem to be in the same spot over my left eye. the only way to get rid of it is taking ibrufren and having a sleep. i have started to drink more coffee could this be the cause? thanks for any help

Yes, it could possibly be an increase in coffee. It could also be because you are dehydrated. Try drinking more water, perhaps?

pooseys

how would being sober make me dehydrated, and why after two months would it start?

If it's concerning you, I'd see a Dr. There could be many possible reasons.

I didn't mean that being sober would mean you are dehydrated, just meant that you could not be getting enough water in general, which could cause headaches. It could be for so many different reasons, though - stress, fatigue, dehydration, weather... I went through a period of having headaches on and off for a while, but eventually they went away - I don't know what the cause of them was, but it was probably something to do with stress!

pooseys

not really a concern just irritating cause generally i'm not the kind of person that gets headaches. its feels quite dabilitating (sp) cause i just want to lay down and hope it goes away. have you guys suffered from this?

justhadenough

I agree with more water.Also maybe an eye test-many people find their eye sight improves when sober and need lesser prescription

pooseys

lesser prescription as in glasses? cause i dont wear them have never needed them

Well this is something. I'm two months in as well and have also been getting headaches! A couple of times my vision has been a bit fuzzy.

The only thing I can attribute it to is drinking more coffee! I say we both ease up on the caffeine and see what happens.

Good to see a fellow Kiwi.

pooseys

interesting about your vision, it seems to be taking a while for my eyes to actually wake up ?? what liquid are you drinking instead, and yes nice to see another kiwi

I had headaches everyday in my 2nd month Poosey. They went away eventually and it sounds like it's pretty common.

See a doctor. (not Dr Google, I have many illnesses since consulting him)
In my case, one sided headaches are seem to be dehydration.
But we can't give out medical advice here, we'll get told off

pooseys

how long before your headaches went away hypochondriac

Jitterbugg

Caffeine can definitely cause headaches and coffee is a diuretic, causing dehydration. Do you get the headaches if you don't drink coffee?

Sometime in my 3rd month x

i would usually have 3 cups by lunch, then nothing till about 7ish and have a couple then also. but since not drinking i am constantly drinking coffee maybe every hour or so having a cup, might have to cut down on the coffee and find something else, like cup of soups? any ideas welcome thanks

pooseys

and the headaches dont seem to kick in until late in the afternoon??

pooseys
