Default 5:00 PM Headache?

Does anyone else get a headache late in the afternoon or early in the evening? This seems a predicatable part of my day lately.

Hmmm. No.

How's your hydration?

Sorry, Ken.

My "duh." I just read your other thread and realize that you are well hydrated.

What, if anything, are you doing in terms of caffeine? (something that might be different since your pre-headache state.)

Just throwing this out there........

I get a headache around that time simply because I'm hungry. When I eat dinner -- usually around 5:45pm -- my headache goes away almost instantly.

Perhaps that's what's happening with you???

Sorry you are having headaches. The moderators are the best to direct you in the right direction. However, I hope your headaches will subside soon. I am glad you continue to be active on the boards and have embraced this WOL.

I stopped with the caffeine two weeks ago, though I had a little on my trip to CA, I kept it to a minimum. It's now been a week since I had any caffeine.

It's post-dinner time now, and the headache has subsided. But I'm not sure if that's due to the food or the aspirin.

Ken, I used to get an afternoon headache and finally realized in my case it seemed to be related to having gone too long without eating. I don't get one when I have several mini-meals, or a snack between meals. Perhaps related to a drop in blood sugar which is noticeable even before feeling physically hungry. Just a thought.

i also get headaches in the late afternoon when i haven't eaten for a long time; if I don't eat breakfast, about 1pm, without fail i have one.

but headaches are a very generic symptom, so it's pretty hard to say. however, if it's predictable, it does make sense to look at your routine to see if you can idenitfy any patterns related to when they started.

good luck with those!
