Caffeine that is usually present in coffee is the ideal pick-me-up in the morning.
Many people believe it is a good way to start your day, especially when you have not had the amount of sleep your body needs.
The down side is if you develop caffeine dependency, which may lead to withdrawals once you quit.
One of the main symptoms of caffeine withdrawals is a killer headache, which is similar and as bad as a migraine.
Symptoms may be diminished or stopped by progressively reducing the caffeine consumption.
NOTE CAFFEINE INTAKE PER DAY It is important to determine how much caffeine you consume in a day.
Generally, one six ounce cup of coffee contains 100mg caffeine.
The same amount of tea or soda contains about half as much, and a typical size bar of chocolate contains 10mg.
It should also be noted that there are some medications that contain caffeine, such as pain relievers.
CUT BACK ON CAFFEINE INTAKE You may also start by slowly reducing your caffeine consumption intake over the period of several days.
If you got used to drinking six cups of coffee a day or equally 600mg caffeine, reduce by half a cup of coffee or 50mg caffeine each day.
When you reach down to zero cups of coffee, you may eat a chocolate bar instead to give yourself a little amount of caffeine.
GET MORE SLEEP Get more sleep as you can.
The alertness that caffeine gives you does not provide you the same even amount a good night's sleep does.
Being exhausted and at the same time feeling distracted can just lead you into increasing your caffeine intake.
It can also eventually cause you deprivation of sleep and further your caffeine use.
RELAXATION REMEDY To ease yourself from the headache, drink some peppermint tea.
Peppermint is a known natural headache remedy, which gives you a relaxing and soothing feeling.
Another relaxation method is to get a massage.
This will help relax your muscles, and relieve tension and pressure that contribute to your throbbing headache.
PAIN RELIEVER Taking pain relievers can stop your caffeine headaches.
The symptoms usually appear about 12 to 18 hours from the last time you had caffeine and can reach their worst point after 36 to 48 hours.
Ibuprofen is a recommended pain reliever because it does not contain any caffeine.
You can take it once you feel the symptoms begin, unlike taking it when the headache is at its worst point already.
The only method that can prevent you from having future caffeine headaches is by limiting your caffeine intake.
Replacing coffee with decaf or herbal tea is advised.
It is important that you are mindful of the caffeine content in your food, drink, and medication.
