As Irina Yartseva emphasized, headache is one of the most common symptoms in any disease.

“It all depends on the frequency, duration and concurrent symptoms.

In any case, in the first place, headache is provoked by stress, overexertion, lack of sleep.

Therefore, it is very important to always, regardless of the nature of the disease, monitor these factors, monitor your sleep patterns, compliance with the work and rest regimen and, in general, the level of stress.

That is, to take a break in time, be distracted, go in for sports, ”said the expert.

She added that headaches can be associated with high blood pressure, as well as the development of glaucoma, for example, in the elderly.

In addition, as the specialist noted, headaches often occur in those who work at a computer for a long time, since the cervical spine suffers, which causes muscle tension.

Such people need regular gymnastics and massages as a preventive measure, the specialist explained.

At the same time, Yartseva said that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs help with headaches.

“But if the number of pills per day begins to exceed the permissible norm, or it lasts more than five days and a person is forced to use the daily ration of these pills, then, of course, you need to consult a doctor and find out what is the reason,” she concluded.

In turn, general practitioner, therapist Larisa Alekseeva told RT that now the likely cause of headaches is the change in the weather and sudden changes in temperature.

In addition, hypothermia can cause headaches, the therapist explained.

“We need to be very careful about this.

Inflammation of the trigeminal (facial) nerve causes very severe headaches that are difficult to control.

Now the climate is changing, the calendar spring has come, but winter continues, and people like to walk without a hat ... Of course, this leads to cerebral vasospasm and various manifestations of neuralgia, ”added Alekseeva.

In addition, in her opinion, changes in the rhythm of people's lives, frequent consumption of fast food, energy drinks and alcohol, as well as smoking lead to headaches. 

She added that it is worth highlighting migraine, which is considered a special disease and is treated by a neurologist.

Earlier, orthodontist Maria Balakireva told in an interview with RT how often you can eat sweets and how its use affects dental health.
