A red bell pepper, like in chili or sausage and peppers.  I can eat green ones, no problem.  But whenever I have anything with red peppers in it I get a headache in the front of my head.  Yet, everything I read online indicates that red peppers CURE headaches.  What gives?

Migraines?

Various food can be a trigger for migraines, so it could be that way for regular headaches.

Read up on migraines.  Find your triggers, and stay away from them.

It's far from a migrane.  Just a dull headache up front.  Makes me tired, too, it seems.

Red peppers can dilate your blood vessels...that could (maybe) cause a headache.





eta After a cursory check of google it seems that red pepper is being used as a treatment for headaches, so maybe no.

Exactly.  I am dumbfounded how everyone else says it cures headaches, yet for me, it causes them.  No big deal, I can just avoid them (mostly) but it is very curious.
