A headache is like a toothache, when it hurts it can kill you. But when it doesn’t hurt, nothing happens and you can still make the world go round; even if you go to the hospital, you can’t get a check-up. I think the majority of people are not unfamiliar with migraine, and perhaps many people are suffering from it now, and because of it, they cannot live or work normally, which brings a lot of trouble to their lives. So, for the problem of headaches that we often encounter in our lives, what causes them and how to prevent them? Common causes of migraine: 1. Genetic factors: Some relevant studies have shown that the probability of migraine occurring in children whose parents have migraine is about 60%, which can be said to be 3-6 times higher than the concept of migraine occurring in ordinary people; 2. Endocrine and metabolic factors: Migraine patients are mostly concentrated in the young female group, especially during menstruation, and are especially prone to migraine symptoms; however, during pregnancy or after menopause Women, however, are less likely to have migraine attacks during pregnancy or after menopause; 3. Other factors: Other factors include diet, drugs and emotions, etc. Food such as cheese, chocolate, wine, tea, coffee, etc., may trigger migraine. Drugs such as nifedipine, isosorbide, etc.; emotions such as being in a low and tense state for a long time may cause migraine. How to prevent migraine? 1. Maintain good rest Let patients maintain sufficient sleep, calm emotions and healthy habits; when patients have headaches, it is best to take a break. Lying in bed and resting for half an hour will relax the brain to a certain extent and reduce the headache. Be careful not to sleep too long. Sleeping for a long time will make the head more drowsy and increase the headache. 2, reasonable diet In the diet, do not eat meat and greasy spicy food, stimulating food, will aggravate the condition. 3, exercise by exercising the body can reduce the onset of the disease, but remember to exercise in moderation, excessive exercise can hurt the body. You can choose to walk, look at the green vegetation, breathe fresh air, to a certain extent to stimulate your brain, thus reducing the pain in the head. 4, keep a relaxed mood Keep a good and relaxed mood can make the psychological negative emotions reduced; in addition, prevent patients from having large mood swings, so as not to lead to the onset of the disease. It is suggested that patients can listen to light music or watch some funny TV to relax and avoid irritability and anxiety. Among all kinds of headaches, some headaches may hide other terrible diseases behind them. If you feel a severe headache and vomiting, even if it is eventually controlled, it may be a subarachnoid hemorrhage or brain tumor. In this case, you need to go to the hospital for a detailed examination as soon as possible to prevent life-threatening conditions.
