Drink a quart of water. A lot of headaches are from dehydration and you might not even feel thirsty.

@Coralmist Last time I took a Tylenol was over 20 years ago. My back was hurting so bad I couldn’t stand up straight, thought I pulled a muscle. I took a Tylenol and it eased up but the pain didn’t go away. So I drank a quart of water and the pain was gone. I was dehydrated and didn’t even realize it, I wasn’t thirsty for some reason. It was on Memorial Day weekend and the weather had gotten warm and probably needed more water than I was used to drinking due to that. I usually get a weird headache when I am dehydrated but it didn’t happen that time. If I get a headache I drink a couple of glasses of water and it goes away.
