Nobody likes a headache – but some of us are bringing them on ourselves...
Rebound headaches occur when the pain medication you took for the first headache wears off. This tends to happen to people who take over-the-counter pain relievers more than 3 times a week on a regular basis. After a while, your body adapts to the medication and that rebound headache could kick in when it wears off.
If you think your headaches are in the rebound category – let your doctor know. You’ll want to reduce and maybe change the type of relief you take. If you wake up with a headache, or get them every day – there’s a good chance they are rebounds.
