Can coffee relieve headaches?

Whether it's a run-of-the-mill tension headache or a migraine, caffeine can help. That's why it's an ingredient in a lot of popular pain relievers. It can make them as much as 40% more effective. Sometimes you can stop the pain in its tracks just by having caffeine alone.

I've been feeling really weird lately, like there's an earthquake happening just for me. Sometimes, it feels like someone's shaking my chair or bed while I'm trying to relax or sleep. I've also been experiencing random twitches, muscle spasms, and this strange internal trembling sensation. It's almost like these vibrations are somehow linked to my heartbeat. Every time my heart beats, it feels like there's an earthquake going on, especially when Im standing still. What could be going on with my body?

refer to general physician.

I'm really concerned about a pulsating sensation I've been feeling above my temple, which seems to extend towards my ear. It's become quite severe at times and feels like a sharp, injecting pain. This has been happening on and off for a few months now, and I'm genuinely worried that this might mean my blood vessels could burst. I've also got some stress, wisdom teeth pain, and ear blockage on the same side. Everything seems to be happening on the right side of my head, and it's making me really anxious. Is this something serious that I should be worried about?

yes
