Don't let
the sun shine in:
Especially if your symptoms resemble
those of a migraine (such as severe pain on one side of the head,
nausea, blurred vision, and extreme sensitivity to light),resting
in a darkened room may alleviate the pain.
Bright light may also cause headaches.
Sometimes, looking at a computer screen may bring on a headache.
Tinted glasses may help.

Use a cold
compress:
A washcloth dipped in ice cold
water and placed on the side of the pain are other good ways of
relieving a headache..

Try Heat
:
If Ice feels uncomfortable to
you, or it if it doesn't help your headache try placing a warm washcloth
over your eyes or on the site of your pain.
Leaving the compress on for half an hour.

Think
pleasant thoughts.
Many headaches are brought
on or worsened by stress and tension.
Learning to handle life's difficulties in a calm way may keep the
volume down on a bad headache. Turn off all thoughts of unpleasant,
crisis-provoking things.
Think about pleasant things.
Just for the moment, try to forget the confrontation with the boss
or the coworker.
Try to relax while you work out a
strategy to cope with the problem.
