What is the reason for the headache?

Modern people are under great pressure at work, stay up late, have irregular diets and many other factors, which have led to health problems for many people, and many of these problems occur at the same time. Among these physical discomforts, the most common is headache, and there are also phenomena such as nausea and vomiting. When many people have headache, their mood will be affected. In order to avoid affecting work and life due to mood problems, the following specifically introduces the causes of headache.

There are people around us who often complain of headaches and are troubled by the frequent attacks, and even wonder if they have a brain tumor. In fact, clinicians tell us that the more often headaches occur, the less likely it is an organic disease. According to statistics, about 80% of general headaches are tension or neurovascular headaches, or migraines. Their occurrence or aggravation is related to mental factors, that is, most of them are caused by adverse mental stimulation or prolonged mental activity. The ups and downs of the stock market, the wins and losses at the mahjong table, the intense intensity of studying, the gains and losses in work and social competition are all inferior mental stimuli. Working at a computer for a long time or using your brain for a long time while writing at a desk can easily cause brain fatigue and trigger headaches.

The best way to prevent this type of headache is to pay attention to mental hygiene and lifestyle hygiene, keep an open mind, not be troubled by gains and losses in the stock market or even in life, avoid bad living habits and hobbies, and don't seek distress. When working and studying, you should use your brain scientifically, avoid over-exertion, combine work and rest, ensure seven or eight hours of high-quality sleep every night, and try to make your life regular.

Enriching your life and learning to rest scientifically are also effective measures to prevent and treat this type of headache. Some people say that people who do a lot of mental work are more likely to get headaches, but there is no scientific basis for this. In fact, most people who suffer from headaches are those who don't know how to rest. Writers who study science or write at their desks all day long rarely suffer from headaches. The secret is that they are good at resting and their lives are fulfilling and colorful. Tolstoy, a great Russian writer, insisted on spending an hour outdoors every day and having fun in the suburbs for half a day every week until he was 60 years old. This was one of the reasons why his creativity was never exhausted and he never had a headache.

To prevent neuralgic headaches, you should also pay attention to improving your living environment, because a bad environment can disturb a person's mood, and bad mood is an important factor in causing headaches. Therefore, you should arrange your workroom in an orderly manner, keep your home clean and tidy, and decorate it with flowers and green grass to keep the air fresh. Such an environment will definitely make you feel good, and maybe you will forget about your headache, or even stop having it.

Causes of frequent headaches

Headache is one of the most common symptoms of human diseases. According to British statistics, 85% of the population will experience a headache at least once a year, and 38% of adults will suffer from a headache within two weeks. This shows how common headache is. Fortunately, most headaches are not caused by any serious physical illness, and are usually not caused by any changes in the tissues within the skull (intracranial). However, there are so many causes of headaches that you definitely need the help of professional medical personnel to find them accurately.

You should know that headache is just a symptom, not a disease itself. Buying pain killers every time you have a headache and taking them to make them go away is not a good way to treat headaches. To treat headaches, you must first find out the cause of the headaches, and then the best way is to take medical treatment specifically for the symptoms.

Fortunately, most headaches are caused by tension headaches, mixed headaches, spinal misalignment, cervical degeneration, and cervical spondylosis. As long as the correct diagnosis is found, treatment is not difficult.

Tension headaches usually have a symmetrical pain range, extending from the back of the head to the forehead. The headache lasts for several hours. During the attack, the headache occurs every day. Usually, patients do not realize that the headache is related to mental tension, but after careful questioning, it is not difficult to find the direct relationship between the patient's tension and the headache. An Australian medical authority, Dr J. Murtagh, pointed out in his 1994 book that in addition to psychological factors, dysfunction of the cervical spine is also a major cause of tension headaches.

Mixed headache (Combination Headache), when it occurs, the symptoms are similar to tension headache, cervical spondylosis headache, migraine, medication dependence headache and other diseases. Patients often describe the severity of the headache as if their head is about to explode, and they feel the pain all day long. Fortunately, it usually only lasts for 3-7 days, but sometimes it can last for several months. Headaches often occur during busy work hours, and sometimes occur after a traffic accident or trauma to the neck or head.

Cervicogenic headache is caused by cervical spine dislocation, cervical degeneration, and cervical spondylosis. Some scholars call this type of headache occipital neuralgia. The main cause of headaches is problems with the first, second, and third cervical nerve roots. The pain is often on one side only, extending from the neck to the back of the head, the side of the head and behind the eyeball. Many medical personnel mistakenly diagnose cervical spondylosis headaches as migraines.
