Frequent headaches: what is the reason?

1. Voltage

How does it happen

Toward evening, a dull monotonous pain appears all over the head. This condition can last for several hours.

Why

The most common cause is stress. You sit at the computer, desk, in the car all day, or, for example, stand at the counter in one position, are constantly nervous, and at home you sleep on an uncomfortable bed and pillow. The result is a spasm of the vessels of the brain and neck.

What to do

Change your posture more often at work, do a 5-minute charge every 2 hours. Massage the back of the head, temples, rub the muscles of the neck and back. Lubricate the whiskey with an anti-migraine ointment, such as the Golden Star balm. Do a short auto-training session. Sit comfortably, close your eyes, relax your muscles, breathe calmly and evenly. Imagine that you are on a sunny day by the sea. Each rolling wave takes your pain, tension and takes you into the sea.

2. The vagaries of the weather

How does it happen

A dull aching pain appears in the middle of the day or after physical exertion, for example, when climbing stairs, accompanied by the appearance of black “flies” in front of the eyes, weakness, dizziness, blood rushes to the head.

Why

Spring weather with an unstable geomagnetic background, fluctuations in atmospheric pressure and temperature, and a sharp change in wind direction provokes vascular spasms. With low pressure, pain appears in the temples, with high pressure – in the back of the head.

What to do

Measure the pressure. If it is low, take a tincture of Eleutherococcus, Schisandra, ginseng and lie with your legs raised; if it is high, tincture of peony, valerian, motherwort will save you, lie with your head up.

Council

Master acupuncture massage:

For 1 minute, press with the pad of your thumb on the active points on the head: the first is located on the forehead, just above the hairline, the second is between the eyebrows above the bridge of the nose. Massage the points on your hands clockwise – between your thumb and forefinger

3. Migraine

How does it happen

Pulsating or pressing pain in one half of the head, “shoots” in the eye, painful to look at the light. The face turns red or turns pale, nausea is possible, less often vomiting.

Why

Migraine is a hereditary disease transmitted through the maternal line, associated with irritation of the trigeminal nerve. Most often it occurs as a result of overwork, excitement, changes in weather, before or after critical days.

What to do

Sit or lie down in a comfortable position in a dim room. If your face is pale, put a hot water soaked and wrung out terry towel on it. If the face is red, the towel should be cold. Take a caffetin or pentalgin tablet.

4. Caffeine addiction

How does it happen

Dull pain in the morning.

Why

You probably sleep too little, and also drink a lot of coffee. Keep in mind that the body becomes addicted to caffeine like a drug.

What to do

Drink no more than one to two cups of coffee a day.
