There are many treatments to relieve headaches, but doctors recommend seeking to understand the causes of this pain before taking medication.
In this report, published by the Russian "NB News" website, writer Olga Simchenko presented a set of reasons that you may not think of that cause headaches, so what are they?
weather
Weather changes greatly affect migraine headaches.
If the sun is shining and the temperature is high outside, a person may suffer from migraines, and this problem can also appear when it rains or sharp changes in atmospheric pressure occur.
To protect yourself from these bad influences, you can wear a hat, use sunscreen and stay indoors.
strong smells
Strong smells, even pleasant ones, can cause headaches, and the reason is that they stimulate the nerve centers in the brain.
And whether you smell perfume, flowers, or paint, this can increase the sensitivity of the brain.
Sports
The writer stresses that doing intense and exhausting exercises for the body can lead to headaches.
sitting incorrectly
If you sit incorrectly, this puts stress on the neck muscles.
For this, you should avoid bending forward, and be sure to choose a suitable chair, and when talking on the phone, do not hold the device between your ear and your shoulder.
cheese consumption
The writer says that cheese is a delicious and healthy food, which is why everyone loves it.
But one of the things that may seem strange is that some types of cheese cause headaches.
These include cheddar and Parmesan cheese.
Sausage and Processed Meat
The author warns that processed foods such as sausage can cause headaches.
Missed some meals
The writer points out that headaches may be caused by hunger, and this occurs due to low blood sugar level.
Therefore, if your headache is accompanied by a feeling of hunger, you should eat healthy food and not eat sweets, which will raise the sugar level sharply and then suddenly drop again.
Eating sugars here may make the situation worse.
smoking
Headache attacks also occur in smokers and even those around them who are exposed to secondhand smoke, and nicotine leads to constriction of blood vessels and thus migraines.
Caffeine
Coffee, beloved by many, may also cause headaches, according to the writer, but when consumed in moderation, on the contrary, it may help relieve pain.
Hair accessories
Some women pull their hair tight and make it into a ponytail, or wear uncomfortable headgear, and all of this causes headaches, so comfortable accessories should be used.
stress
High levels of stress in the body may lead to headaches, so the writer recommends reducing nervous tension.
