Master Chief Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 advil / ibuprofen or any other common over the counter pain med I'm asking because about a month ago i started getting some bad headaches around 3 pm every day and i started taking advil to help. all my life i was against taking any sort of drug / medicine but the pain was too annoying so i just gave in. im still getting them daily and am worried if i take advil every day I may become dependent on it. Is there anything else you guys recommend to help ease headaches or something I can do to keep them from popping up every day? It seems to mainly be in my lower-back side of head around the neck, and on the top / forehead area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fratem Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 One thing I do when I get a headache out of nowhere is to re-hydrate myself. I mostly get it from dehydration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazza100 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Constant headache for that duration of time is actually a fairly serious symptom and shouldnt be ignored by using medicine. If I was you id seek medical advice from a proffessional 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plutoh Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 (edited) As you know, you can't continue popping advil everyday for the rest of your life. You obviously have something going on causing the headaches. I'd recommend a doctor because otherwise you're just going to trial / error and that most likely won't help. But anyways, drink enough water (64 fl oz. / day). It also could be from your eyes. Do you need glasses? What about blood pressure? Are you fat as fuck with just 1 twinkie away from a heart attack? There's just too many variables for someone over the internet to help you with your headaches. There are doctors that specialize in headaches for a reason. You could Skype a doctor (yes I'm serious) instead of leaving your house. Edited June 27, 2016 by Plutoh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelated Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I mean anything is addictive, you can addicted to more powerful forms of the same drug so i would imagine you could end up addicted if not careful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twin Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 (edited) http://www.addictionhope.com/ibuprofen/ In short, no, but you can become dependent on it. And go to an eye doctor, it sounds like your eyes are getting strained if it starts every day around 3. That's assuming you're up for the same amount of time.

Anne Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 You can be dependent on it aka addicited. Try to drink enough water and have enough sleep. If this has been going on for too long you should seek medical help. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Chief Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 thanks for the replies. I think I'm in good health condition and I drink 2 gallons of water a day (gotta keep that shape am i right). But I do know last year the doc said I had pre-hypertension or whatever so basically I'm at risk of high blood pressure. Maybe I'll get that checked out. and I can see the eye thing ... my eyes often are sore. But I can see everything very clear and nothing is ever hard to read, close or far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I would honestly go see a doctor. You don't want to be taking advil everyday its long term usage has nasty effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
