    Idk if it was lack of caffeine or having COVID but I've had a wicked fucking headache from Sunday up until this morning. I've been taking daytime cold meds and it dulls it some but not a lot.

    I def wanted to wait until I started to feel better before I had caffeine. Today feels more like a head cold and I think I'm finally in recovery. But like I went straight to energy drink like a psycho so maybe don't take my advice lol.

      In my recent experience, withdrawal from mostly-energy drink consumption isn't nearly as bad as withdrawal from mostly-coffee consumption, and neither feels like the headache I have right now

        I guess at least this confirms that mine was, in fact, covid related. I mean if you are implying you also have it right now. It sucks.

            I thought just had a cold at first but that was after a negative COVID test. I retested after my wife tested positive and I started feeling bad again and I was positive. Maybe test just to make sure?

      If it's not related to congestion in sinuses, or caffeine withdrawal, it might be high blood pressure. I don't know of any quick treatment for that other than maybe aspirin.
