Had a headache since 8th June!
Discussion
Okay, so I've always had headaches, it runs in the family. I would probably get one per week.
However, since the 5th of June, nearly two months, I've had a pretty much constant headache everyday. I've been to the doctor and she think it's chronic tension and I'm taking amitriptyline, which I don't think is really helping. The headaches are bearable but some days they're worse than others(like today) and it really f**ks me off! Most of the time I can zone out and ignore them but I'm getting to the end of my tether.
I've probably left some important details out but any advise or help would be truly grateful.
Thank you!

I assume you're taking on enough water and your diet is healthy?
4-5ltrs of water a day and I'd say diet is about average yeah. It'd be such a stupid way to run into problems but that's enough water to theoretically cause some electrolyte wonkiness and it's a beautifully easy fix.

That's too much unless you're working in a sauna. I'd suggest cutting down on water to about 2.5 litres a day and see if that helps - one of the first symptoms of water intoxication is headache.
Well, I usually just have a bottle with me which I keep filled, and drink when I'm thirsty, and I've dome this for years so I'm not sure it'd be the cause of a sudden two month headache?NJK44 said:

t - water has electrolytes in.Unless he is excessively losing electrolytes by some means hes fine. 4-5ltrs of water a day is ok, what colour is your pee?

I was getting constant headaches a few months back. I put it to the fact these days I have to constantly crack my neck which would ease it. Then I remembered I had changed my coffee, still decaf but a new stronger brand, I dumped it and it's been better. Have you changed anything like this food wise?
I still took a headache once a week then as a crazy person heard about daith piercing which can perhaps help and gave that a try not had once since tbh.

I was on a diet program, 800 calories a day of milkshakes and controlled meals. I stopped this at end of May I still took a headache once a week then as a crazy person heard about daith piercing which can perhaps help and gave that a try
