I started getting abdonal migraines at 21 years of age then when i was 28 i had a coil fittted in my womb for birth control. As it contained a hormone it lowerd my migraines but then when i had it removed the migraines returned but i started getting Aura migraines which i prefurred i felt like i was tripping and it only lasted a few seconds the abdonal migraines lasted for days now these have come back, Any cures apart from codeine or paracetemol?

Im 16 and ive been getting headaches everyday for about a month now, they normally are around the same time of the day but recently ive been getting them in the morning. During the same time of these headaches ive been attending college and when i got my eyes tested the optician said that my eyes are straining because im focusing on the work im doing (which is all engineering)

Im not sure what type of headaches are, but its not my eyes, as they were tested fine, it normaly hurts inside my head?

Yeah, constant, although it varies in severity. I think diet could be a factor as well as bad posture straining muscles. It's tension headaches I have, not migraine. I switched to organic soya milk from dairy some time ago and that helped, the casein was possibly contracting the blood flow to the head. If the muscles in the scalp are tight blood flow is the issue, which probably means tension in the back and shoulders. Try using a tennis ball on the back/shoulders against a door.

@Gonzoidzz are they constant? I'm having headaches almost every day!!! :(

I've had these bastard tension headaches for 17 years. Constant nightmare since my mid 20's.

It hurts when I elevate my height, hurts mostly just when I move, it's like torture. I was bound to have headaches with my bad history of health. But my headaches are just killing me. Then my stomach felt empty & was hurting. I ate, but that only helped for a few minutes. Then my throat started hurting, as if I we're to throw up, probably will. I should probably take something to stop it from hurting, but normally I don't take pills & such. Any advice on how to get it to stop hurting as much?
