I have a headache, any recommendations for how to help?
user
How does it feel? Is it a sharp or dull pain, or does it pulse?
assistant
It's a dull pain over my left eye
user
Could it be a sinus infection?  Sometimes sinus infections can affect your eyes.
assistant
No, it's not a sinus infection. I think it might be because my neck muscles are tight. What do you think I should do?
user
I’d recommend trying some self-massage of the neck muscles.
assistant
Ok, should I try and stretch as well?
user
I'd also recommend stretching your neck, shoulders and upper back muscles.  It's best to do a few stretches in a row, not just a one-off.  Can I give you a few suggestions?
assistant
Yes please! I'd love some suggestions.
user
Ok, I'd suggest starting by stretching your shoulders and neck muscles, to loosen them up.  This should help relax your shoulders and neck muscles, and get some of the pain away.  Can you reach over your head with your hands?  Then stretch up and over to the left and then over to the right, reaching with your fingers.  Does this feel good?
assistant
Should I use both hands at the same time or just one at a time?
user
Which feels better?  Which feels like it helps you with the pain?
assistant
Thank you.
