Feeling scalp pain

Many people often feel scalp pain and want to find a quiet environment to sleep, but they always can't fall asleep. In fact, scalp pain is mainly caused by the patient's excessive fatigue, which causes great tension and pressure on his nerves, and finally leads to such results. Patients should not only rest more, but also pay attention to the choice of lying down or applying cold or hot compresses. There are many methods to pay attention to.

1. Get as much rest as possible

If possible, find a quiet and dark room to lie down and take a nap, but avoid sleeping too much, so as not to have a headache after waking up. A nap may help relieve a headache, but it's best not to nap if you don't have a headache.

2. Sleeping on your back

Odd sleeping positions or sleeping on your stomach (belly down) can contract your neck muscles and cause headaches. Sleeping in a supine position is beneficial. Similarly, when you are standing or sitting still, do not lean forward or turn your head in any direction.

3. Cold and hot compress

Some people like to apply cold compresses to the forehead and neck, which works for many people; others prefer hot compresses to the neck or take a hot bath. When a headache strikes you can cover your forehead with a hot or cold pack and massage the blood vessels in your temples to relieve the pain.

4. Do facial beauty exercises

Raise eyebrows: Raise both eyebrows at the same time, and then lower them.

Squint: Close your eyes quickly and then relax. Next, squint your right eye hard and relax. Next, close your left eye and relax.

Frown: squeeze your eyebrows hard and relax.

Open your mouth: Slowly open your mouth as wide as possible, then slowly close it.

Move your jaw: Open your mouth slightly and move your jaw left and right.

Wrinkle your nose: Squeeze your nose upwards as if you smell something bad.

Make faces: Make faces casually, like when you were a child. Don't worry, your face won't be deformed.

5. Take a deep breath

Deep breathing is a great way to relieve tension. When your stomach rises and falls more noticeably than your chest, you're doing it right.

6. Press acupoints

Studies have found that acupuncture and spinal massage have fewer side effects and their effects last longer than conventional drug treatments. There are several main acupoints for pain relief. One is the Hegu point at the base of the thumb and index finger, and the Jumiao point at the base of the cheekbones on both sides of the nose (press until sore). They help relieve sinus headaches. Another is the Baihe point on the top of the head, which is very effective for vascular pulsation headaches. For migraines, pressing the Xuanlu point (also known as the temple area) is the most effective.
