On Coffee And Headaches


Coffee enthusiasts vary in their preferences when it comes to how they want their coffee done. Different coffee mixes have been perfected through the years because of humanity’s natural love for coffee. Coffee concoctions are so in style and there seems to be no end to mixers inventing new mixes to stay on top of the business.

I and my wife have different tastes for coffee. My wife’s coffee doesn’t have anything in it - no sugar nor creamer - just plain hot water and coffee. Mine is perfect with brown sugar and non-dairy creamer. My wife takes coffee daily for a reason – to relieve headache. Life’s many challenges include having to deal with headache.

For some, this is just a simple problem but to many, this is one illness that can torture for life. Headaches are actually one of the most common health problems that affect millions of people.

My wife has cluster headache which is a type of headache characterized by a piercing pain. This type frequently crops up on one side of the head in exactly the same place whenever there’s an attack. Cluster headache can stay on a regular basis for several days or weeks at one time and just swiftly fade away.

Headaches, especially when at its severity can hinder a person from performing regular tasks. When this happens, what is the best way to do?

Here are some solutions that could help:

Rest – if it’s not really necessary for you to go out, then stay in bed and make even your chores wait until you feel better.

Take a paracetamol or acetamenophen – in my wife’s case, this is not enough. Excedrin and
Panadol are the medicines that worded well during her bouts of migraine headaches but since these are not available in our country, she would instead drink biogesic and coffee.

Panadol has caffeine and acetaminophen as its ingredients. Excedrin has caffeine, acetaminophen and aspirin as its main ingredients.

Drink a bottle of Gatorade.


There are many ways you could relieve yourself of headache. In all the solutions that I’ve tried, one thing remains..coffee is the best for most of my headache issues.
