I'm curious and a bit concerned about my left upper eyelid that keeps pulsating. It's been going on daily for about 6 months now. It comes and goes within minutes, but it's pretty much a daily occurrence. Its not really causing any problems, but I just wanted to check if this is something to worry about or if it's just a harmless twitch.

Thta could be due to restlessness,no need to worry take adequate rest and maintain healthy lifestyle

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'm really curious about something to do with migraines. When you have a migraine headache and you touch your forehead, is it supposed to feel hot or cold? I'm trying to understand what the typical sensation is during these headaches. Would love to hear your thoughts.

vDuring a migraine, the forehead is often warm or hot to the touch due to vasodilation (widening of blood vessels), which is a characteristic feature of migraines, although some people may experience a cold or clammy sensation, particularly if they are experiencing nausea or anxiety.
