Unfortunately, headaches may occur as you begin your treatment plan, but they should subside as your body adjusts to the medication. There are a number of reasons why you may experience headaches, including dehydration, stress, reduced food intake or low blood sugar, and changes in sleep patterns, among others.
Here's what you can try:
-
Increase your water intake
Aim to drink over 2.5 litres of water per day. -
Eat adequately
Ensure you're eating enough to meet your daily energy needs.
Consider having smaller meals more frequently. -
Pain relief
Take pain relief when needed.
Start with paracetamol, as aspirin or ibuprofen can be harsh on the stomach.
