I've had a trawl through past threads but can't find quite this question. I've recently started getting headaches from drinking wine - not hangovers, but headaches that start about 10 minutes after I start drinking, after maybe half a glass. I usually stop drinking when I can feel it coming. It very gradually gets more intense till I try taking some codeine for it, but that doesn't usually work, although it dulls it a bit.
My mother also gets headaches from wine, but she's had them since she started drinking it. I have been drinking wine (not bingeing, just the occasional drink with dinner or party) for about 4 years and this has only just started happening. It doesn't seem to correlate to whether I am dehydrated or not (I've tried drinking lots of water before and during drinking wine and it makes no difference). It also happens with both red and white wine, but not with other alcohol. I think it's a little worse with red wine though.
Anyone have a similar problem and have any remedy for it? I like wine and wine drunkenness and don't want to have to ditch drinking it !
Thanks
