Suggest Treatment For Severe Headache
Hello, I've been having headaches in my forehead and eyes for the past week since I got home from a vacation where I spent the 3 days in 100+ degrees. It's worrisome to me because I have never had this kind of headache, like when you drink something cold, and it is low grade all the time, but peeks about 2-3:00 every day, and lasts for at least 3 hours. Advil usually kicks it, but I do not like taking meds and I have stopped taking them (break time). Yes, I have a great deal of stress, and a failing thyroid. Ablasion surgery last november to correct a heart rythym.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Headache can occur due to many reasons.
Tension headache, cluster headache and migraine are few types of headaches which have different courses and different type of presentation.
Increased intracranial pressure can also cause headache.
However, clinical assessment is required to know the characteristics and cause of headache.
In the maenwhile you can take painkillers for symptomatic relief.
Thanks and take care

HI
Well come to HCM
The headache could be due to environment changes and not because of any disease, low water intake could be the reason, once you left that place then this is just nothing to worry, this come around soon, just take care for hydration, (Comment:- Extreme heat could cause headache and nausea even without the dehydration or pure heat stroke)
