I also experience frequent intense headaches after long periods of computer use, as well as bouts of painful sinus congestion.

I take fish oil supplements daily, but unfortunately I haven't experienced any pain relief. I take them because my skin is fairly sensitive to irritation; the fish oil has helped to reduce my outbreaks of dermatitis.

However, in regards to headaches, green tea is superb. Anything with vasoconstrictive properties works for me even when strong prescription pain killers do nothing. Thankfully the healthful properties of green tea outweigh the negatives associated with caffeine.
