“What should I avoid with chronic headaches?”

Depends on the type

Any of the triggers that can cause a headache. Also it is important to have good neck posture and a supportive pillow

I think if you work so stressful, is not good for chronic headaches; if you a night time worker is not good for headaches; If you often blues and worries, is not good for chronic headaches. You might should do light exercise often times, and always feel joy from the heat.

Alcohol, spicy and greasy foods and sugars

I'm sorry, I'm an acupuncturist. I don't know of things to avoid chronic headaches. But an acupuncturist can certainly help you stop having them.

I suggest you see a good acupuncturist who can perform massage, acupuncture, and maybe also use herbs to relieve and get rid of your chronic headaches.

Are the headaches stress related? If you're female, do they track with your cycle? Do you have any history of neck/upper back injury? Are these headaches something relatively new or is this something you've been dealing with for some time? Have you had a neurology consult or a head CT/x-ray?

As you can see, there are a lot of potential causes for chronic headache. Without knowing why *you* are experiencing this pain, it's difficult to provide any guidance around what you should or should not do.

My best suggestion is to make an appointment with either your primary care provider or with an NCCAOM board certified acupuncturist. Let them evaluate you and your issue, they'll then be in a better place to provide helpful information.
