First, the best way not to lose a headache, at least the kind of headache that keeps on keeping on: pain relievers. The Wall Street Journal gently reminds us that taking over the counter pain relievers more than 10 days a month can cause "medication-overuse headaches," which are no less painful than the headache that started it all. What should you do? The Journal reports that a recent study of 50,000 Norwegians found that people who exercised at least 30 minutes a day, five days a week, had far fewer migraines or tension headaches than those who didn't. The paper also suggests finding ways to relax and alleviate stressâ€â€such as yoga, massage or isometrix neck exercises. If that doesn't work, the paper points out, there is always acupuncture. Yes, its effectiveness has been proven is several studies.
