Is is possible for me to get too many headaches from drinking soda?? If any? I drink a lot of coca cola, pepsi, and barqs rootbeer?? I'm on medication now for bloodpresser control I guess, and its not helping me?? What do I do??

Well I would say yes. Some of them contain caffeine and I know from my own experiences that will give you headaches. If your mixing too much with medication maybe that's the cause to. Try cutting back. After a few weeks maybe they will pass.

Well well miss sunflower! Thank you for the advice, and yes I do drink a lot of it, better than alcohol! But maybe I should try that for a couple weeks?? I mean they weren't normal, they would knock me out for days on in, real serious stuff, and all the doctor told me was YOUR FINE, LETS GET U MORE MEDS!! Frickin fruitcake! Lol well anyway, thank 88!

Absolutely... between the sugar and caffeine its inevitable. Your sugar gets screwed up and you're more then likely dependent on the caffeine, so when you aren't drinking it, your withdrawing from it.

Also, you probably aren't drinking adequate amounts of water... your filling up with soda. Reality is you are dehydrating yourself, dehydration causes headaches

I've had this and to be honest I think this is quite simple, your getting dehydrated and need to drink more water day to day :) same as rxna stated

Wow?? Makes sense! I don't get enough water so?? Would it help if I drank a couple days of water without soda and switch on and off? Or mix it up, because I like soda, no deniing it!! Anyway you guys gave great advice, ill have to try it! Thanks!

I would definitely up your water... you should be drinking at least 64oz a day (minimum, in my book). Soda is horrible for you for many reasons. Would you be willing to limit it? Could you do a flavored water?

If you can't, I would wake up and make your first drink WATER. Then consciously drink that water during the day. I also think the caffeine and sugar has a part in your headaches as well. The soda gives you a sugar rush, once you come down from that the headaches begin

Well drink water daily doesn't have to be just water, if you like squash with it that's fine just

I tend to drink soft drinks in the morning and in the evening but throughout the day coke beer whatever :)
