Migraine is a very serious neurological disease. What are the common causes of migraine? And how to treat migraine? Here are the common causes and treatments of migraine.
I. Causes of migraine.
1. Overheated weather: When the temperature rises, the possibility of various headache attacks increases significantly. When it is almost raining, there will be a slight decrease in the rate of headache attacks.
2.Overly strong smell: Even good smells with too high a concentration can trigger a migraine, such as paint, dust, perfume and certain flowers.
3. Improper headwear: If the ponytail is worn too tightly, it can put pressure on the scalp and thus trigger a headache. Head scarves, hair cards and overly tight hats can also cause headaches. The solution is to let the hair fall naturally.
4, too much exercise intensity: too much physical exertion can cause the blood vessels in the head, neck and scalp to swell, which can trigger a headache. Even excessive sex can cause headaches. So keep the intensity of exercise moderate, such as walking, when your arms swing back and forth, will allow the shoulder and neck muscles to relax, thus reducing headaches.
5, bad posture: including shrugging shoulders, sitting on a chair without backrest or backrest is too low, the position of the computer monitor is too low or too high, or answer the phone when the receiver is clamped on the shoulder.
6, cheese, red wine, cold meat dishes: cheese left too long will cause protein decomposition, releasing tyramine, which can cause headaches after consumption. Red wine and cold meat dishes (such as cold meat rolls) also contain tyramine and should not be consumed in excess.
7, hunger : When you feel hungry before the brain will feel pain, so keep a regular diet, which can keep blood sugar levels stable. Note that you should choose food with protein and complex carbohydrates with each other, and also hydrate in time, because dehydration can also cause headaches.
8. Caffeine: Drinking coffee in moderation is not only good for the body, but many of the drugs used to treat headaches also contain caffeine. However, if you drink coffee one after another, it can cause headaches.
Second, the self-treatment of headache and health care methods
1. Self-massage.
During the day, you can scratch your head with your fingertips like washing your hair, or use a natural bristle hard brush or a wooden tooth comb to massage your head. The specific method is: from the temples towards the forehead to the back of the head in a slow circular motion, no matter which of the above ways you take, the massage will feel very comfortable and relaxed.
2.Good sleep.
Use sleep to get rid of headaches. Many people use sleep to eliminate headaches, but should avoid sleeping for too long to avoid waking up with more headaches. Do not sleep prone, because this sleeping position will make the neck muscles tingle. If you sleep badly and turn over repeatedly, you can use a special pillow, the shape of which should be suitable for the natural bend at the neck of the spine, so that the neck has a reliable support.
3, early treatment.
Health experts recommend that you should always check whether you have signs of tension, including clenched teeth, clenched fists, shoulders shrugged, etc. These signs may cause headaches, and those with these current conditions are best to go to the hospital for early examination.
4. Lighten the burden of vision.
Cover your eyes with the palm of your hand every hour or so, let your eyes rest for no less than 30 seconds, then remove your hand and open your eyes slowly. In addition, the eyes can also cause headaches due to brain fatigue when they are subjected to imperceptible flickering.
5. Pay attention to scientific diet.
Avoid eating foods such as chocolate, coffee and cocoa because these foods contain substances that can make blood vessels constrict, which can cause a sense of head pain as the blood vessels expand. Omit or delay meals may also cause headache, to eat more soy, seafood, walnuts and other foods rich in magnesium.
Three, headache recommendations.
1. Make a “headache diary”. Record the food eaten every day, various stressful events, the time when the headache starts and ends, weather changes and physical exercise. A “headache diary” can help you discover the causes of various headaches and avoid triggers.
2. Go to physical therapy. You can try yoga, massage and acupuncture, there is always “one” for you.
Reminder.
When a headache persists for several days or worsens, or is accompanied by fever, unconsciousness and a sloping neck, it is important to go to the hospital promptly.
