This is my 7th blog on Xmas 2011. In this blog you will find Tips to Preventing Headaches in holiday season.
Headaches are one of the most common forms of pain. Not everyone’s headaches are the same, but wanting fast relief is common to all headache sufferers.
Why Headaches
Headaches can be classified as either primary (these headaches are not associated with any known medical condition) or secondary (which is due to an underlying medical problem such as high blood pressure, stroke, brain tumour, aneurysm, bleeding into the brain, encephalitis or meningitis).
Common causes of primary headaches are as follows:
- Emotions — stress or anxiety
- Fatigue — overdoing it
- Sleeping patterns — not enough sleep or too much sleep
- Poor nutrition — not eating regular meals or skipping meals altogether
- The weather — sudden changes in temperature
- Menstruation — for some women, headaches is part of the pain they feel just before or during their menstrual periods
- Certain foods or drinks — foods containing tyramine (aged cheese and red wine), nitrites (bacon and processed meats) or monosodium glutamate (MSG, packet soups), chocolate, peanuts, dairy products, caffeine (even caffeine withdrawal), alcohol, and aspartame can trigger a headache
- Sound, light and atmosphere — exposure to bright lights, loud noises, strong odours and cigarette smoke
- Minor illnesses — like colds and the flu
- Side effects from some medication—like birth control pills, high blood-pressure medication and nitroglycerin can cause headaches or make them worse
- Sinus problems—sinusitis or sinus infections can be the start of a headache
- Allergies — allergic reactions
- Dental pain
- Head and/or neck injuries
- A hangover
- Substance or medication abuse
