Deep breathing really helps......or take a cold soda pop can and rest it on the back of your neck. Massage your top part of your head. There is a pressure points on top side on head.. If your head is hurting these spots will be tender, apply pressure on the tender area.

It depends on what is causing the headaches. If your headache is caused by sinus pressure, you can use trigger point therapy to ease the pain. I generally use three points on the face to make the pain go away. It will last between 15 seconds and 15 days depending on what the underlying cause is.
Pinch the skin between your left thumb and your left index finger with your right thumb and index finger and sort of massage it in circular motions.

This is not a joke, it's some sort of accupressure move.
