Have Headache. Have Been Prescribed Tylenol Nd Ibuprofen. What To Do?
Hi, I am a healthy 20 year old female. I have been having concern with the warm temperatures for years. I live in Michigan so the summers aren't even burning.. today we had a high of 61 degrees Fahrenheit, and the headaches are starting just as the past 10+ years. I've been to the doctors and they just suggest me to take Tylenol or Ibuprofen. This really bothers me because when I have school in the summer, I go to class, come straight home into my room and have to have the air conditioner on. I go outside into the heat and my head starts to throb. In another words in the summer I am basically under house arrest. What should I do?

Hello, thanks for the query to H .C M .C.
Tylenol or Ibuprofen are a drug which treat symptom ( HEADACHE).
These drugs in this case only meant for headache not for disease, if any.
61 f is not a temp which cause (feel ) heat in the head.
One reason may be school anxiety.
2 ndly pl get in check your eye sight.
Sinusitis and allergic rhinitis are other reasons , which may cause some problems.
Pl do one thing as M R I of head which will reveal a clear picture.
Your's age is just 20 yrs now and pain in head is from last 10 yrs , so it may be yours habit to feel pain or your's pain threshold is different from others i.e. a small thing puzzle you while not to others, this is habit of an individual.
Good luck. Dr. HET
