Chronic headache should not be ignored, migraine may hide a terrible disease !

 In your daily life, I'm sure you've encountered this situation where you feel like you have frequent headaches, but others tell you that it's caused by too much stress or lack of sleep. But you yourself obviously feel well rested recently and do not feel stressed.

In fact, this symptom is migraine. Migraine is a common headache disease, which is defined by the medical academia as a chronic neurovascular disease that often recurs repeatedly and has a great impact on our lives. It can be seen that migraine is not only caused by too much stress, and I hope that you will seriously understand the truth about migraine.

What causes migraines

Tension headache

Tension headache, also known as cranial muscle tension and cranial muscle contraction headache, is the most common type of chronic headache. Especially after winter, the cold weather makes the tension of the general cranial muscles higher, causing spontaneous headaches.

Hypertensive headache

After winter, patients with hypertension are more likely to have headache symptoms. The headache is especially intense in cases of high blood pressure and cerebral arteriosclerosis. With the arrival of winter, the blood vessels in the head will contract and dilate violently due to the cold weather, in which case it is important to pay attention to keeping warm to avoid aggravating the condition.

Wind-cold headache

In winter, the head is often a part that is very susceptible to cold. The cold air will tighten the neck muscles, which in turn will affect the blood circulation in the head, causing pain in the head.

Rhinogenic headache

Winter is a high season for colds, and for people with rhinitis, this season can aggravate the primary illness and cause headaches. There are also many people who experience headache after a cold. This headache may be caused by rhinitis or inflammation of the respiratory tract, or it may be caused by the direct action of the cold virus on the intracranial tissues.

In this case, it is important to pay attention to nutrient supplementation, in addition, it is also important to drink more water and pay attention to a healthy sleep habit, which is very useful for the prevention of colds. Especially for those who suffer from rhinitis and have poor immunity, it is very necessary to do a good job of prevention in general.

Cervicogenic headache

For many office workers, often sedentary work, long-term fatigue will lead to spinal lesions, headache itself is a neurological pathogenesis, because the contraction and diastole of the blood vessels in the brain is mainly innervated by the sympathetic nerve issued by the cervical spine, when the sympathetic nerve in the neck is inflamed or mechanically stimulated, it can affect the activity of the cerebral blood vessels and lead to headache, at this time only for the cervical spine pathogenesis can effectively control the headache.

How to prevent migraine

People who suffer from migraine must be actively treated with medication, pay attention not to use medication on their own, must take medication in accordance with medical advice implying that many people feel that their head does not hurt anymore, they stop taking medication privately, and take medication when it hurts, this way is wrong, it is easy to relapse, must take medication on time, so as to reduce the number of relapses.

To effectively prevent migraine, pay attention to control your emotions, don't always be happy and sad, pay attention to maintain an optimistic state of mind, so as to make the nerves work smoothly and improve the migraine situation.

In daily life, you must pay attention to the regularity of work and rest, especially those who have a stressful life, you must actively regulate, and when you feel too much pressure, you must learn to relax yourself properly, for example, you can do some exercises daily to relax your mood.

In terms of diet, we must pay attention to eat less spicy and stimulating food, and focus on lightness, try not to eat foods high in sugar and salt, and do not drink alcohol, and try to drink enough 2000ml of plain water every day, which is good for the body to maintain a stable metabolism and can also prevent the recurrence of migraine.

In fact, the population suffering from migraine is relatively large, on the one hand, we should do a good job of medication, on the other hand, we should also do a good job of prevention. Especially in the cold winter, migraine is very easy to recur, so you must pay attention to a healthy diet and rest habits, and also pay attention to maintaining an optimistic state of mind and learn to relieve your stress, so as to effectively prevent migraine.

This is a real-life example from one of my patients:

I have been a migraine patient for many years, and I hope that my symptoms and the solution to them will help you.

Symptoms:

• One-sided headache, sometimes on the left side of the skull, sometimes on the right side, sometimes the whole skull, it is impossible to say.
• Pain that feels like you can feel the blood vessels expanding and contracting in response to the heartbeat, extremely unpleasant.
• High intraocular pressure around the eyes, especially under the eyebrows with vague pain and reluctance to open the eyes.
• Vomiting and diarrhea in severe cases; for me, vomiting is the most unpleasant, vomiting many times until the bitter water also comes out; every time I vomit, I feel the increase of blood pressure in the brain, which slightly relieves the headache; if there is vomiting, please don't suppress yourself and vomit out as much as possible.
• fear of cold, fear of blowing wind, even a trace of cold air passing through will be unusually sensitive to.

Self-estimation of precipitating causes.

In the case of having gone to the hospital to exclude the brain, heart and other organs, repeatedly think about the possibility of the following causes.

1. Cold and flu, observed several episodes around the change of season
2. Compression of nerves due to spinal fatigue
3. Chronic rhinitis or wisdom teeth affecting the nerves
4. Fire and too many cold drinks
5. Lack of sleep or low quality sleep
6. The above causes are not in any order and are important side by side

Short-term quick fixes.

• Decisively take time off work, return to the bedroom to turn off the lights and pull the curtains to create a dark environment, cover the quilt rest, generally rest 1 day will be good
• Apply topical medication such as wind repellent oil or double-flyer on the head
• If it has not reached a serious level, first take a hot, hot bath, will ease some, and then go to rest
• I choose not to take medication, but if there is an aura, you can drink a cup or half a cup of coffee, do not drink often

Long-term solutions.

• Keep exercising (running) and drinking fresh milk to improve immunity and reduce the frequency of cold and flu to indirectly reduce the number of migraine attacks
• Sleep with clothes covering the joints and knees to prevent catching cold and avoid alternating cold and warmth
• Blow-dry your hair after bathing
