Welcome and congrats on getting started!

Headaches are a common withdrawal symptoms. Increased blood flow to your brain as a result of your quit may be the culprit. They may occur in the first or second week of your quit and last for a few weeks. If this symptom persists or is not relieved by typical pain relievers, please consult your MD.

To help avoid these headaches, you may want to avoid caffeinated drinks and add relaxation techniques to your daily routine.
 
How did your quit day go?

Hi Tracez,
 Still smoke free? Headaches are one of the nicotine withdraw symptoms. You'll have them for awhile. It's part of the healing process of your body. A humorous way of looking at it is that, it's your body kicking you in your butt, for putting that poison in your body all this time.  The headaches will eventually go away along with the urge to smoke, that is unless you don't keep your guard up and the Nico-Demon cons you into lighting one up. Then you have to go through all this again. Sleeplessness is another withdraw symptom and it too will pass in time. Unfortunately your body takes time to heal. Stay strong and nicotine free!
