hi
thanks for using HCM.
There are many type of headaches , so it is better to consult a psychiatrist/ neurologist for evaluation of your headache. once you are diagnosed for that, then there are multiple drug to use for prophylaxis and for acute headache. for example if you had Migraine headache then beta blocker is used as preventing further headache ,,, for tension headache antidepressant are commonly used . Pain killer like brufen, aspirin are used only for acute headache.
