 At
one time or another everyone suffers from a headache. There are many
factors that cause headaches. Physical, emotional stress,
lack of sleep, and even weather conditions trigger head pain! Let’s
learn about the causes of headaches and how to treat the unpleasant
condition!
Sometimes bad posture can cause headaches. Poor posture causes tension in your upper back,
neck and shoulders. The tension can lead to a headache. So, in order
to avoid the unwanted head pain, avoid sitting or standing in one
position for a long period. Sit up straight and
support your lower back.
When you are angry, you may also feel the ailings of a headache. This
is because muscles in the back of your
neck and scalp tense up. So, when you start feeling angry, try to
breathe deeply and slowly. Breathe in through your nose and out through
your mouth. This will help relax your head and neck muscles.
 Did
you know that bad weather can also trigger headaches? Yes, interestingly,
high humidity, rising temperatures,
and storms can bring on head pain. Weather changes are thought to
trigger chemical and electrical changes in the brain, irritating nerves, leading
to a headache. Sadly, there’s not much you can do to change the weather.
But at least you can, at least,
prepare painkillers in advance after
checking the weather forecast.
Strong scents can cause headaches,
too. Perfumes, air fresheners, and household
cleaners can bring on headaches. Avoid using strong-smelling soaps,
shampoos, and conditioners. Use fragrance-free air fresheners and
household cleaners. It is also a good idea to keep your doors and
windows open as frequently as possible at home.
 Grinding your teeth at night
can cause head pain as well. This is because it makes your jaw muscles contract. Go
to your dentist if you have this problem. Eating ice cream can give
you a headache, too. It is called an ice cream headache but these
headaches don’t really need treatment because they don’t last very
long. They will go away soon. |
