I have a bad stress headache due to finals, advice?

I've been studying for finals since Monday, and woke up yesterday with a bad neck-ache (no I didn't sleep wrong) and a stress headache that was getting progressively worse.


Though it's not as bad, I still have the headache and neck-ache today, and today I actually need to take one of my two finals... luckily, I take them from home since they're online classes, but any advice on the neck-ache/headache other than excedrin? Thanks!I have a bad stress headache due to finals, advice?
try aromatherapy and a hot steam shower to relax. (still, meds for headaches work the best for me)I have a bad stress headache due to finals, advice?
I learned this trick in my psyc class and I still use it today.


1.Let your head fall forward so that your chin touches you neck and hold for 5 seconds


2.Hold your head back up and move your head to the left so that you are looking across your shoulder and hold for 5 seconds


3. Repeat step 1


4. Lift your head up and turn you head to the right and repeat step 2 on the right side.


Try it! It will work!!!
