What are the causes and treatments of headaches when getting up in the morning

In Journey to the West, you can see the scene where Tang Monk chanted a spell to Sun Wukong, and Sun Wukong rolled on the ground with a headache. Although it was a bit exaggerated, it basically demonstrated the condition of a headache. Common colds and fevers can also cause headaches. I believe everyone has personal experience of headaches. So, what are the causes of morning headaches and what are the treatments?

The exact cause of the headache can only be determined through analysis of the nature of the headache, the time of onset, accompanying symptoms, and detailed examination. Here are some common diseases that cause headaches:

1. Severe headache accompanied by vomiting indicates increased intracranial pressure, which is common in cerebral hemorrhage, brain tumors, and meningitis.

2. Paroxysmal migraine, each attack lasts for several minutes, with severe electric shock-like pain in the face. It can be triggered by talking, eating or washing the face. It is seen in trigeminal neuralgia.

3. Headache manifests as pain and throbbing sensation in the back of the head, which is more common in hypertension. The headache disappears when the blood pressure returns to normal.

4. Severe headache, accompanied by orbital pain, sharp decrease in vision, and vomiting are mostly caused by acute glaucoma.

5. Headache accompanied by nasal congestion and purulent nasal discharge, which is lighter in the morning and heavier in the afternoon, may be sinusitis.

6. Headache accompanied by dizziness may be caused by cervical spondylosis, cerebellar hemorrhage, or vertebral basilar artery insufficiency.

2) General processing

1. Pay attention to observe and understand the nature, time, and accompanying symptoms of headache attacks, and go to the hospital for further examination in time.

2. When a headache occurs, reduce activity and rest quietly. If necessary, use a small amount of sedatives and sleeping pills.

3. If you suddenly develop a severe headache accompanied by vomiting and high blood pressure, you should seek emergency treatment as soon as possible for diseases such as cerebral hemorrhage.

4. If you suspect your headache is caused by acute glaucoma, do not blindly take painkillers to relieve the pain. Instead, go to an ophthalmologist in time to save your eyesight, otherwise it will quickly cause blindness.

5. Taking painkillers, such as analgesics, craniostat, analgesic, etc., can only be used for temporary pain relief. Taking too much painkillers can mask your condition. In addition, allergic rashes caused by pain relievers are also common.

6. Treat the cause of the disease. For example, if high blood pressure causes headaches, the headache can be improved by lowering blood pressure. Refractive errors that cause headaches can make them go away by wearing the right glasses. Headaches caused by insufficient blood supply to the brain due to cerebral vasospasm can be relieved by dilating blood vessels.

The above is an introduction to the causes and treatments of headaches when you wake up in the morning. If the headache is not caused by external trauma, it is generally a vascular disease. You should not be careless and should go to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible. If it is due to high blood pressure, it is not a big deal. However, if it is due to a tumor or something, it is more troublesome and should be given enough attention.
