Afternoon Headache

An afternoon headache has many possible causes. It is important to rule out and correct any structural component and to assess how often this happens.  Many times afternoon headaches occurs only at work and are linked with poor ergonomics in the workplace and excess time at the computer screen without a break, which places tremendous strain on the eyes and upper back.  If these are ruled out consider hypofunctioning adrenal glands, hypo-functioning thyroid and reactive hypoglycemia.
