Probably one of the most common reasons people take pain medicine is because of a headache.
Simple, garden-variety headaches are an annoyance that almost everyone has at some point or another. They are irritating, they hurt, and they keep us being our best or having fun.
Taking a pain medicine for a headache is often a case of masking the symptom (the headache) without taking care of the cause.
What's the cause? Often, it's dehydration. Your body has insufficient water, and the vascular system in your head is reacting to that.
The answer's pretty simple. If you get a headache, and don't know why you've got it (you haven't gotten hit by a baseball or something else), drink 2 or 3 glasses of water. The water should be at room temperature. Not iced, in other words. If possible, give yourself a few minutes to relax. After an hour or so -- usually, much faster -- your headache will be gone.
