Headaches

[Michelle43]

I could easily search for this but well, I have a pounding headache.

Anyone else have this problem? I do not know if it is related to vaping but I wake up everyday now with a dull headache. It doesn't go away with caffeine or nicotine, the only thing that helps is Tylenol.

Could I be vaping too much, using too high or low of nicotine mg? I think it almost has to be related to vaping as that is the only significant thing that has changed in life recently.

I'm pretty sure headaches are a common sign of an upcoming nicotine OD. I have gotten them from time to time when I have vaped WAY too much.

I've never heard anyone report of waking up with them though... maybe you're so addicted that the headaches are withdrawal symptoms and you need to vape to make them go away!

While it is possible those things are causing it, it's fairly common. Happened to me for a week or so at first.

Remember, headaches are also a symptom of quitting smoking. Your body is no longer getting the 4000 chemicals it was used to when you smoked. Or at least, it's getting less of them if you haven't totally quit smoking.

Also, be sure to drink plenty of water. The PG will dehydrate you and cause several smaller problems.

Are you using PG or VG based liquids?

Could be a slight allergic reaction to one of them?

Ooo, Pawpaw brings up a good point. Headaches are a common effect of dehydration. Make sure you drink plenty of water.

Yeah tried that, but vaping in the morning doesn't make them go away

Yeah I guess that could be it. I do need to remind myself to drink some more water before bed, maybe that will help.

Lately I have just been using PG. I like the Parliament flavor and that is all I have vaped for the past week.

the majority of all headaches are due to dehydration. Chug! chug! chug! chug!

im getting headaches as well....specially when i take the second draw.... but then again i was never a heavy smoker... and im starting with 24 mg of nicotine.....

I would also speculate it has something to do with dehydration. I've had the opposite - I haven't had a migraine since I started vaping, longest stretch I've gone without one in 7 years.

I admit, I really should be drinking more water and less soda. Thanks all I will try that. I hope it helps.

Funny you mention migraines. I have had them since childhood. And as I am sure you can attest, a migraine is completely different than a regular headache. These feel like mini migraines (if there could be such thing). It is my right side of my head that hurts.

Sadly the only way to really find out is to stop vaping for a few days and see if they stop.

Haha I don't think that is possible without removing my stash from the house

I think I will try water overload first.

If more water doesn't help, maybe have a look at this book:

Trigger Point Therapy Workbook; Your Self-Treatment Guide for Pain Relief

It was a lifesaver for me, maybe the best $20 I ever spent. It helped me manage my migraines, which I discovered were caused by a knot in a shoulder muscle - I was absolutely floored when I figured it out. At any rate, I highly recommend the book. Hope your headaches disappear soon!

You guys were right! It was the water. I drank extra water last night and woke up fine this morning

I made such an effort when I first started vaping to keep well hydrated and I guess I just let it slip over the last week. Thanks for reminding me. My Head thanks you this morning!
