People who are prone to headache may have scalp pins and needles when they see the word [headache], because their life may be like this:
- Have a cold or headache; Not sleeping well, headache; Very angry, headache; Busy work, headache; Too nervous, headache…
This kind of headache, which breaks out if you don’t agree with a word and goes to the hospital for examination and finds no problem, is migraine.
For migraine, there is no particularly good treatment method at present. It is generally recommended to have a good rest when the attack occurs and take some safe painkillers to relieve it.
If headache attacks are frequent and severe, in addition to medication control under the guidance of doctors, you can also try to avoid the following factors to reduce headache.
1. Boss
Don’t get me wrong, Dr. Clove is really not aiming at the boss (how can you fight headache happily without the salary paid by the boss). In fact, people or things that can make people feel pressure may induce headache.
Therefore, people who are prone to headache should learn to decompress themselves.
When you have a headache, avoid people or things that cause tension. Exercise, take a bath, read a book, or have a big health massage. Anything that helps relax is worth a try.
2. Weather
Heat wave, cold wave, continuous rain and weather changes may also induce migraine.
Since you can’t change the weather, you should take precautions in advance. For example, wear sunglasses when the sun is dazzling and keep moisture in dry seasons to reduce the impact of the climate on you.
Step 3: Strong smells
Strong smells (even those that smell good, including perfume) can induce migraine. The most common ones are the scents of paint, cosmetics and some flowers. Try to avoid contact when you have a headache.
Step 4: Too tight a hair accessory
Hair accessories tied too tightly may cause migraine. Headscarves, hair bands, small hats, and even ponytails tied too tightly may all be causes of headache.
If the headache happens to have these conditions, loosen the hair and remove the hair accessories in time, which may relieve it.
5. Inappropriate Exercise Intensity
Inappropriate exercise intensity may cause headache, for example, some people will have headache when running.
If you already have migraine, you can exercise step by step, from weak to strong, and slowly explore a suitable exercise mode.
6. Bad posture
Bad posture can easily lead to excessive pressure on head and neck muscles, thus causing headache. Shrugging, lack of waist support, and too high or too low a computer screen may all be the main culprits.
If head and neck tension will cause headache, you can try to improve your posture, which may relieve it.
7. Tobacco, wine, cold dishes, processed meat
Smoking has many hazards, one of which is to damage blood vessels. If blood vessels in the brain are damaged, the chance of headache will be more.
Therefore, people with headaches had better quit smoking and stay away from second-hand smoke.
Alcoholic beverages contain tyramine, a substance that can cause headaches, and other ingredients in the wine may also cause headaches.
If it is found that headache often occurs after drinking, it is recommended to quit drinking or replace it with non-alcoholic beverages.
Cold dishes and other processed meat often contain tyramine. Try to avoid these foods in your daily diet to see if there is any improvement.
Tips for dealing with headaches
A simple and effective suggestion to deal with headache is to keep a headache diary. This will help find clear causes and avoid them as much as possible in the future, which can effectively improve headache.
It is recommended to keep these records every day:
-
Food eaten;
-
Something that causes stress;
-
Weather changes;

Exercise;
-
The time and general condition of each headache.
If the headache is much more severe than usual, lasts for a long time, or is accompanied by nausea, vomiting, blurred vision and other abnormal manifestations, you must see a doctor in time, and at the same time don’t forget to bring a headache diary, which can also be used in the doctor’s diagnosis.
