Question
I get the worst headaches. I have woken up crying because it hurt so much. I get headaches at least 3 or 4 times a week. I have only woken up crying about 4 times. What can I do? Basic Advil/Tylanol doesn't help me.
Answer
There are many types of headaches such as tension headaches, muscle contraction headaches, and migraines. An evaluation by your primary care physician would be advised to try to determine what kind of headache you have because the treatment would be different for different headaches.
