Caffeine and lots of it. Granted mine tend to be about either migraines, caffeine withdrawal, or dehydration, so drinking something caffeinated actively helps two of those and ... kinda breaks even on the third, I guess.

I second caffeine for a migraine. Sometimes helps for tension too. Does nothing for sinus/allergy headaches, though.

DA I've found that hot drinks will help with sinus headaches.

Same. Hot showers too. Sometimes if I have a bad cold I'll just turn the shower on a the hottest and sit on the toilet and breathe in the steam.

Really for my own sinus/allergy headaches, the only thing that helps is stuffing my nose with (hopefully hypoallergic) toilet paper. It's miserable.

The one thing that helps for me is going in the bathroom, turning the shower on as hot as possible, and then sitting on the toilet for an hour breathing in the steam. Then I usually feel better for a couple hours.

Shit so it's not just me? Everyone goes "no coffee means no migraines!" but I think that drinking less coffee triggered my migraines to begin with - my new workplace didn't have coffee and then I startled having BAD migraines ... Only helped by my caffeine drink of choice + ergot pills with caffeine?? I thought it was placebo effect though.

Caffeine is an extremely addictive drug and caffeine withdrawal causes awful, shitty, no-good, terrible headaches.

However, once you push on through to the other side and wean yourself off (tapering may help), they should go away.

Wow, thanks for telling. No one told me this. (Sadly haven't had coffee in years but they never went away.)

My migraines are kind of weird in that I usually get all the symptoms (aura, nausea, sensitivity to light/sound/motion, etc.) EXCEPT the headache, and when I get the headache it's a pretty mild one. But I read somewhere that caffeine does something to the blood vessels that cause migraines (opens them up for better blood flow or something?), and so it can provide some relief...

I'd been avoiding caffeine for years due to being really sensitive to it, and the possibility of it triggering panic attacks, but I stopped having those and week-long migraines after starting a severely restricted diet (not the effect I was hoping for, but I'll take it). So I figured I'd give it a shot when I had a particularly nasty one... and indeed, no panic attack, and the migraine lightened way up.

Of course now I drink coffee almost constantly because it helps my digestion, so if I skip a couple days, I get a withdrawal headache that feels similar to migraines but no other symptoms. :P

AYRT - Oh, yes, I hear it's a thing. That's great to know, and good thing you are doing better now! (Don't even mention restrictive diet... :( )

This happened to me when I got off caffeine. I never had migraines before in my life, but about two months after I quit caffeine, I started getting ocular migraines: a growing aura in my left eye until I couldn't see out of it for about half an hour, and about twenty minutes after the aura started I'd get pain in the right side of my head. Getting caffeine the minute the aura started would more often than not stop the pain from appearing, but once the aura started I just had to ride it out.

Strangely, I tried getting off the caffeine again once I started working from home during the pandemic.... with no migraines this time. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh wow. Funnily, every doctor I ever told I have bad migraines to, tells me to quit coffee. So I tell them that I haven't had coffee in years, even though I had it like water before, and they don't say anything.

Excedrin for Migraine capsules contain caffeine.
