Does Pain And Turpentine Cause Headache?

My walls were painted with a mixture of paint and turpentine....my head has been hurting ever since....it feels like extreme pressure in my temples. Does coffee make it worse? I have the windows open but the painting was done when the windows were not open

Hello,

Yes, in few cases the smell of paint may induce headache. So get settle in well ventilated room. Use tablet naproxen 250 twice a day for two days. If no improvement please consult with your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
