Doctors’ responses
1. Forehead headaches are often due to tension, stress, or long screen time rather than sinus if you don’t have cold or nasal issues.
2. Limit mobile/computer screen time, take breaks every 30–40 mins, and keep proper posture.
3. Continue meditation, relaxation, and regular sleep, as stress and lack of rest can trigger headaches.
4. Stay well hydrated and avoid excess caffeine, junk food, or irregular meals.
5. If headaches are frequent, severe, or recurring despite lifestyle changes, consult a doctor to rule out migraine or other causes instead of relying only on pain tablets.

It’s a good move to be aware of the link between headache frequency and factors like screen time, stress, and tension. Forehead headaches are often associated with tension-type headaches, which can be exacerbated by stress, poor posture, or excessive screen use. You should first pay attention to your posture while using screens, ensuring your neck and back are well-supported to reduce muscle tension. Consider setting reminders to take breaks every 30-60 minutes to rest your eyes and stretch your muscles. Stress management can make a tangible difference—you’re right to speculate that stress might contribute to your headache. Continuing meditation can definitely help, but you might also benefit from physical activities like yoga, which combines physical movement with stress relief techniques. If headaches persist despite these interventions, keep track of their pattern and associated triggers in a headache diary. Writing down specific activities before the onset of a headache might reveal consistent patterns. However, you should limit regular use of over-the-counter medication like Vicks Action 500, because frequent use can sometimes lead to medication overuse headaches. If the headaches continue frequently or worsen, it’s really essential to consult a healthcare provider to explore potential underlying causes, ensure a accurate diagnosis, and discuss a treatment plan that might include lifestyle adjustments or possibly preventive medication.
