What's wrong with my head being heavy and having a headache

Generally speaking, when we suddenly have a headache and feel heavy in the head, the first thing we will think of is whether it is caused by a cold. If it is just a simple cold, you can take some cold medicine and drink more hot water, and you will feel better in a few days. However, if it is due to other reasons, you need to pay attention and consider whether the headache, heaviness in the head, etc. are caused by the brain or diseases, such as hypoglycemia, insufficient blood supply to the brain, etc. The details are as follows.

1. Common diseases that cause headaches and heaviness in the head include high blood pressure, low blood pressure, anemia, rhinitis, cervical spondylosis, insufficient blood supply to the brain, Meniere's syndrome, and lack of rest. It is recommended to go to the neurology department of a regular hospital for a cervical spine X-ray, blood routine, blood sugar, blood pressure and other examinations to confirm the diagnosis and then receive treatment. If there is no organic disease, pay attention to rest, avoid mental stress, and relax. As for medication, you can take GABA tablets. Oral treatment with vitamin B1 tablets.

2. Dizziness is related to cerebral vasodilation, acute cerebral ischemia or cervical spondylosis. It is recommended to go to the hospital for diagnosis as soon as possible and then receive symptomatic treatment. Do not blindly treat or take medicine. Relax your mind and do appropriate physical exercise.

3. There are many reasons for headaches, including colds, fever, problems with the five senses, abnormal blood pressure, head disorders, anemia, constipation, gas poisoning, alcohol poisoning, nervous fatigue, etc. Headaches may be caused by irritation of the meninges, which causes blood vessels to constrict and increase tension. It may also be a signal from the brain reminding us that there is insufficient oxygen and that more oxygen is needed. Only after finding the cause can you do targeted treatment. Don't take medicine blindly on your own.

4. Early stage cervical spondylosis. There is currently no good way to quickly and thoroughly treat cervical spondylosis. However, there is a physical therapy in traditional Chinese medicine, which is very simple to say. Just stand relaxed, open your feet as wide as shoulders, breathe abdominally (inhale and your abdomen expands, exhale and your abdomen contracts, that's it), move your head slowly and widely (to the best of your ability) in the order of front, right, back, and left. One circle takes 6 to 8 seconds, and do it 10 to 20 times; then do the same number of times in the opposite direction, and pay attention to coordinating your breathing. Do this every day, even at your desk, and you'll see improvement in two weeks.

5. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for relevant examinations to clarify the diagnosis and then receive treatment after the diagnosis is confirmed. Pay attention to rest, relax, don't stay up late, develop a good work and rest routine, and do appropriate exercise.

6. Western medicine generally considers this type of disease to be tension headache, neuralgia, vascular headache, etc. Suggestions: Traditional Chinese medicine suggests that you can tap the Baihui, Fengchi, and Taiyang acupoints at home, and press the Neiguan, Hegu, Qihai, Guanyuan and other acupoints once a day in the morning and evening. Or you can acupuncture the above acupoints and do appropriate exercises. .It is not good to sleep with a pillow that is too high. Do not lie in bed watching TV or playing cards for a long time. Do not lower your head to work for too long.
