Suggest Medication For Throbbing Headache Due To Excess Drinking
Hello, well basically I'm 22 year old guy, who well honestly went drinkin last night till around 5 am only to wake up at 8. I woke up wit a terrible headache nd even though I've done this times before.. I thought it was a hangover even though I've never really had one, well not nearly as painful as right now...well I still have this throbbing headache in which every movement makes it worse nd pain killers and excedrin have done nothin, well till right now still hurts a lot. Is this a hangover because well I guess this would be the first, or is this a migaine? And wat can I do about this?

Yes, hangover.
There's no pain receptors in the brain; hard to believe under the circumstances. The blood vessels however, Do have pain receptors and so this is about the only source for pain. Hydration, anti-inflammatories, and frankly I would wonder if nerve pills such as anti-epileptics would be helpful. Avoidance of stimuli (avoiding light, sound, activity, stress). Personally, classical music helps, but this is perhaps an idiosyncratic reaction.
