I get a headache when I'm tired

Many people have a problem of getting a headache when they are tired. In medicine, this type of headache is called a neuralgia. As we all know, headaches have a great impact on patients. If they are serious, they will not only affect the patient's physical and mental health, but also affect the patient's normal life. Therefore, when symptoms of headaches occur, they must be relieved and treated in time. However, there are many things to pay attention to during the conditioning process, which will be introduced below.

1. Use the right painkillers

If you want to quickly relieve an acute headache, the most effective method is actually painkillers. However, you must follow the doctor's instructions when taking painkillers and not take them at will, because painkillers are one of the most addictive drugs. At present, there are several effective analgesics with minimal side effects in clinical use. If your headaches are not frequent, you can try taking a small amount of such tablets during an acute attack.

2. Head acupoint massage

This method is usually only useful for tension headaches. It can distract the head and improve blood circulation in the head, thereby relieving headaches. Basically, you can press any health acupoint on the head, such as the temple, Fengchi point, Yintang point, etc. You can also knead the back of the neck to relax the neck and shoulder muscles.

3. Chinese medicine to prevent headaches

If you have frequent headaches and are sure that they are not caused by any disease, you can take some Chinese medicine at home to prevent headaches. The more recommended ones are "Chuanxiongsu", "Yangsheng Qingnao Granules", "Zhengtian Pills", etc., but please note that people with low blood pressure cannot take "Yangsheng Qingnao Granules" because it has the function of lowering blood pressure.

4. Maintain a regular daily routine

This is very important for health preservation, and even more important for preventing headaches. If you often have headaches, it is recommended that you start from this point. Going to bed and getting up on time will greatly reduce the probability of your headache attack. Of course, if you suddenly break the rule one day, you basically can't escape a headache.

6. Keep the surrounding environment comfortable

Being in an uncomfortable environment for a long time can also cause emotional anxiety and tension, inducing headaches. Once these uncomfortable conditions are relieved, the headaches will naturally ease. For example, you should open windows frequently to ventilate the room to avoid insufficient oxygen supply; pay attention to whether there are high-frequency sounds caused by electric current or electromagnetic waves around you; remove pungent smells, as too pungent fragrances and odors can make people anxious and nervous.

7. Keep your cervical spine relaxed

Whether the cervical spine is relaxed and comfortable largely determines whether headaches occur. If the shoulders and neck remain tense for a long time and the cervical spine is uncomfortable, it can easily cause headaches. Therefore, whether from the perspective of cervical spine health care or from the perspective of relieving and preventing headaches, it is recommended that you get up and walk around every hour of work, relax and move your shoulders and neck. Especially for those otakus who don’t touch the computer all day, it is actually very harmful to their neck.
