Tension headaches, the most common type, can be stopped in their tracks by a simple painkiller (aspirin, paracetamol or ibuprofen) – you don’t need the stronger combination painkillers on the market, says Dr Andrew Dowson, director of the headache service at King’s College Hospital, London. The secret is using a dissolvable tablet. ‘A soluble pain killer can save you five to ten minutes in achieving pain relief, as the tablets do not have to dissolve in your stomach before starting to be absorbed. One dose will often be enough, as most headaches are highly amenable to some sort of treatment,’ he says.
‘Everyone is different, and paracetamol may work better for some headaches and ibuprofen for others, but the key is not to take more than the recommended amount.’And if you still need them after five days, talk to your GP rather than opting for something stronger.’He, like many headache specialists, is concerned that treating headaches with painkillers, particularly those combining paracetamol or ibuprofen with codeine or caffeine, more than twice a week, on a regular basis, puts you in danger of dependence.
‘If you get headaches often and take painkillers regularly, you can get more headaches,’ he says.
‘The body becomes acclimatised to a frequently used pain reliever, then develops a withdrawal effect, a headache, when medication stops.’
Thousands of people find themselves taking ever-increasing doses of painkillers in a desperate attempt to keep on top of recurring headaches without realising that the painkillers themselves are causing the so-called ‘rebound headaches’. Your GP can prescribe drugs to help swiftly break the cycle.
