What causes headaches among high school students

Headache is not only a problem for some office workers due to excessive work pressure or adults due to excessive pressure in life. Nowadays, some high school students are prone to headaches because of the high-pressure study every day or the extra pressure they put on themselves. If high school students have headaches, it will directly affect their academic performance, so it is also very important to find the cause of high school students' headaches. Let's learn about it together.

Cerebral vasospasm refers to a persistent constriction of the intracranial arteries. If the blood vessels are found to be in a spasm state only during angiography and the patient has no corresponding symptoms of neurological deficits, it is called asymptomatic vasospasm; if the patient has symptoms of neurological deficits, it is called symptomatic vasospasm, also known as delayed ischemic neurological dysfunction. Cerebral vasospasm is one of the most common complications of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Three main causes of cerebral vasospasm.

1. Multiple factors

Emotional fluctuations, anger, psychological disorders, and stress are the most common causes of cerebral vasospasm. Most patients are students, especially high school students taking the college entrance examination. Intense study life, insufficient sleep and no chance to relax are most likely to cause cerebral vasospasm. Insomnia can also cause cerebral vasospasm. The incidence rate is relatively high among young women and those who do mental work.

2. Functional factors

Simple cerebral vasospasm refers to the abnormal contraction state of cerebral arteries over a period of time. It is a functional disease, that is, the disease is a cerebrovascular dysfunction caused by various factors, and there is no substantial damage or lesions in the cerebral blood vessels. Most of the patients are young people with better self-regulation ability, so the prognosis is good. Most patients can fully recover after treatment and relaxation. Hemiplegia and psychotic abnormalities do not occur in this disease. However, if combined with intracranial aneurysm, cerebral arteriosclerosis, hypertension and other diseases, it is easy to cause cerebral hemorrhage. If not treated promptly, paralysis or other neurological symptoms may occur and even be life-threatening.

3. Mechanical stimulation factors

Compression from blood clots and vascular nutritional disorders can lead to structural damage to the blood vessel walls. Damage caused by oxidation of oxyhemoglobin to methemoglobin and release of oxygen free radicals. Various other vasoactive substances, such as 5-HT, catecholamines, hemoglobin and arachidonic acid metabolites, have vasoconstrictive effects. Increased intracranial pressure and excessive dehydration without timely blood volume replenishment. and factors such as inflammation of the blood vessel wall and immune response. In addition, the balance of sympathetic and parasympathetic. The autoregulatory mechanism of cerebral blood flow is also a hot topic of research.

The above are the three main causes of cerebral vasospasm. In fact, a healthy lifestyle is very important for patients with cerebral vasospasm. Among all health care measures, psychological balance is the most critical. Eliminating worries about illness, establishing a correct attitude towards illness, maintaining a calm mind and a happy mood, and avoiding emotional excitement can almost antagonize all internal and external unfavorable factors. Finally, I wish all patients with cerebral vasospasm a speedy recovery.
