For daily mild headache post covid.
It's frustrating and scary. Can feel one trying to form now

(2,108 posts)be careful as both of those are blood thinners. 1 Aleve every 12 hours is the rule.

(2,108 posts)Then my doctor took me off of it and put me on coumadin. I believe Aleve is made by Bayer. Just be careful with it.
Aleve is the best pain medication.

(13,881 posts)Headache not quite formed yet today. Really concerned about this being ongoing. God knows what would happen had I not been vaccinated and boostered

(92,739 posts)Like me, cannot tolerate Aleve at al so do monitor your stomach carefully. I experienced acute digestive upset and gut pain from it. It doesn't go well with a lot of other meds, I knew one friend who was on several meds, was bullied into taking naproxin sodium (Aleve) and it nearly killed him in a few days. Ibuprofen might be safer.

(4,919 posts)... 3 tablets when I wake up and then at bedtime everyday. But, Ibuprofen is also a muscle relaxant.. Also, helps me fall asleep. I am not a doctor, but have been dealing with long haul COVID symptoms for a while. Good luck to you.

(13,881 posts)These seem mild, but scare me. I may try ibuprofen.

(4,919 posts)... But, I never had headaches before... So they are noticiceable and distracting.

(13,881 posts)I did get them, but rarely. Now every afternoon

(92,739 posts)Not the one mentioned above, was having post covid issues and she started taking iodine and potassium (potassium phosphate) and she said it really helps to relieve those problems.
