My family and I are always getting headaches even my six year old what could be the cause?

Question

most of the people in the house are constantly getting headaches and we haven't got a clue why. What could be the cause of everyone getting headaches. Thanks in advance...

Answer 1

It could be either parasites in your brain or something to do with your diet. You should consult a doctor about this.  

Answer 2

tumor in brain can make headaches.

you'd better go to see doctor as soon as possible.

Answer 3

There are a couple things to check.  First would be your heating system if you have gas heat.  Poor ventilation would cause CO2 levels in the home to rise, not high enough to be dangerous but high enough to give headaches.  Another thing to check would be food. MSG is a common food additive to make things taste better, but that too can trigger headaches in folks who are sensitive.  The sensitivity is genetic, as well- which would explain why the entire family is suffering from it.  Trouble is it could be an old familiar favorite that has just started adding it in, and you'd have to read labels to find it.  The source is something the majority, if not all of you are coming into contact with- and can be something you are breathing in or eating.  Look for anything that is new to the house- carpets, drapes, new cleaning supply, new aerosol spray, any old product marked "new and improved".  And one stray thought as well- if you all use the same computer, check the refresh rate time on the screen.  I had to get my hubbie to slow mine down, as it made me queasy and gave me a headache being refreshed too often/too quickly.  You don't want it too slow or it gives you flickers- but if it's too quick it can make you feel seasick as well sometimes.  I felt rather silly saying my computer screen made me sick, but the DH does this for a living and said he'd heard it before.  I don't know if a flat screen or LCD tv would do it as well- but it stands to reason they would.  Worth asking about anyway, if you just recently got a new one.  Good luck, hope you track it down.

Answer 4

check for a gas leak. or something open like cleaning products cause if the mix they will give off a smell and can cause this problem. keep bleach and ammonia away from each other cause thats a killer

Answer 5

Get the carbon monoxide levels checked in the house immediately.

This can be deadly, and headaches are one sign of early poisoning.

Other causes, mold, allergens, fumes out-gassing from foam insulation.

It is probably being inhaled, or ingested, since everyone is involved.  

Concentrate on the carbon monoxide levels first!!!  

Buy a carbon monoxide/smoke detector combination.  They cost about $35.00.  Whatever you do, don't die!  You are too beautiful....
