A couple of thoughts for someone who suffers often from headaches:

NOT medical thoughts; I’m not a doctor. I can’t tell whether you should be seeing a doctor for chronic headache problems either.

But, absent all of that, just a couple of commen sense/experience ideas.


Always make sure you are eating a healthy meal with lean protein. Especially important if you are headed to exam, review… I like a poached egg on dry toast in the morning, with skim milk and oj. Low fat and helps keep headache at bay. Vs. no breakfast or a high carb breakfast.
Keep well hydrated.
Know any other triggers that are personal to you and avoid them. You already hit on the eyestrain one. Many are bothered by exposure to second hand smoke, chemical smells…


Good luck and glad you are already feeling better.
