Is the stress getting to me?

I don't know what's causing it, but I've woken up with a headache every day since I caught a small cold from Abbie on Monday. I've been cranking out a fair amount of hours between my day job and other side-projects, but you'd think this headache would go away. Is it the stress? Who knows - all I know is that I have to take Advil on a 4 hour rotation to get rid of it. I've even ditched my contacts for glasses one day, but that didn't help either.

I need to find a better way to relax, and a way to quit worrying about "getting things done" for my clients. Do I have productivity anxiety or is it deadline anxiety or maybe it's just West Niles.

sounds like what I had. thought it was a small cold but a week after the bad parts ended I started having serious sinus headaches and couldn't look at the computer screen without sunglasses. hot baths every morning to break up the congestion was the only fix for me - and headache medicine all day or else. Too bad you can't get to your sauna in Montana. today is very good for me though. I don't wish headaches like that on anybody. Feel better soon man.

Allergy/Sinus headaches problematic for many this year. However, if it's stress-related and not cold/allegy/sinus, I might suggest trying several things: massage several times a week, particularly at peak stress times, concentrated at cranium, neck and shoulders... OR a soothing peppermint-infused cream in the distressed, painful areas of your head, forehead, nasal (not too close to your eyes!)... OR floatation REST combined with massage ... OR chiropractic for a headache induced by the spine being even just slightly out of alignment ... OR acupucture/acupressure ... I had serious migraines for more than 20 years, but have not had one in nearly two years... Stress management has helped tremendously (meditation, floatation REST, massage, etc.)... I hope you find what you need to feel better soon.

Last night, I did some yoga and took a hot bath before I went to bed - and followed it up with some NyQuil (in case of a sinus infection). Voila - no headache this morning. I can feel it lurking though - and I'm still not sure if its stress related or sinus related - maybe it's both. It'd be weird if it's a sinus infection since I don't feel like I have a cold at all, but I guess you never know - thanks Christina for opening my eyes to this possibility.

Massages rock, so I'm going to go that route, and sign up for a regular visit regardless.
