Rebound Headache
Rebound headache may occur among people with tension-type headaches as well as in those with migraines.
- It appears to be the result of taking prescription or nonprescription pain relievers daily or almost every day, contrary to directions on the package label.
- If prescription or nonprescription pain relievers are overused, headache may "rebound" as the last dose wears off, leading one to take more and more pills. This is a good reason to call your doctor!
