Why Do I Get Headache When I Stop Drinking Coffee?
Hi, i have been experiancing a ponding headache for 4 days now and some vomiting. I never drink coffee but for the past 2 weeks i was having a cup everyday at work. The headaches started once i stopped drinking coffee. Can the headache be due to the caffiene?

yes definately caffeine withdrawal can precipitate headache. coffee causes constriction of our veins but sudden stoppage of coffee can lead to dialatation of veins hence causes headache. if you want to quit gradually decrease coffee intake not suddenly
