    I used to have to use Advil about 3 to 5 days a week since nothing else worked on my headaches. It had been going on for about 15 years. I went to the doctor complaining about them multiple times and they apparently couldn’t find anything wrong. I was worried about destroying my guts with the pills after my wife let me know how bad they can be for you.

    Went to a doctor that was shocked that nobody had tried the obvious… turns out my blood pressure was too high (and the pills were making it worse). I took some blood pressure medication and now I haven’t had a headache anywhere near that bad in close to 6 months.

    I wouldn’t have believed it myself if I hadn’t experienced it but you may want to get that looked at.
