HEADACHE AND ITS SOLUTIONS

Headache is a pain that occurs in the head, due to a lot of things. This pain can either be a slight or long lasting experience. Pain in the head is not a good experience to have simply because it's a painful experience. Headache doesn't occur without any reason, there should be a reason behind the headache.

Headache happens for a lot of reasons:

Firstly, Headache can occur as a symptom for sickness or disease. Whenever a person has headache, It is advisable to consult the doctor or get some pills that fight against sickness. When headache occurs, some people see as a normal thing that happens I.e they view it as something that is part of them. Headache should not be seen in that manner, rather, it should be taken seriously because that headache a person feels, me might be a symptom of any upcoming disease in the body.
Secondly, headache can be caused due to stress. I know it is good to work all day because of the benefits to get but at the same time, you should also be considerate of the way you work. Work should be done moderately to prevent headache. When a person over uses him/herself, it can lead to tiredness of the body and then emerges to pain, in any part of the body. When serious pain occurs in the head, it can have side effect on the body and may even lead to death, if not taken serious. This is why we should be more careful.. Headache can be prevented through the reduction of stress, have enough rest for it is important Anyway, headache can be cured, even in a natural way which involves rest. Rest is an essential activity in life, God made night for us to rest because He already knew that we might have worked during the day(that makes Him the all knowing God)... So rest is very important. Once you feel headache, be it long lasting or slight, have a rest so that the head can rest because of the natural elements that that make up the head... headache can also be cured through the use of pills(drugs). The pill should be prescribed by a doctor or a qualified pharmacist, so that they won't give you the wrong drug to use. When you get to the pharmacy, demand for drugs that frees the head for ache... Drugs prescribed are not to be abused... Finally, if the pain remains persistent, consult the doctor.

The discussion here is what to do so as to stop headache; THE BEST SOLUTION TO HEADACHE

Headache can be referred to as a pain that occurs in the head. This pain can be experienced in the forehead (this is where the pain is mostly felt), the back of the neck or towards the back of the head(hardly do we feel the pain in this part of the human body unlike the forehead).

I believe in a principle, and that is knowing what you are faced with before looking for a solution, if you are not sure of what challenge you are facing, then there will be problem identifying the solution. This will lead to the first thing I will be discussing here which is the types of headache

TYPES OF HEADACHE
Migraine Headache
A migraine headache causes pain in one or both sides of the head. And this type of headache is experienced by females mostly. Some of the symptoms include an unclear vision or sight and restlessness.

Hormone Headache
This is another type of headache which affects mostly females because of the hormonal changes they experience in their body system.

Tension Headache
The symptom of this type of headache is a sensation of tightness in the head. The pain will first occur in the backbone and it will extend to the cervical region, them to the head.

Now that we have been able to identify the types of headache, let us now take a look at some possible and best prescriptions to solving this issue.

Please note that all the types of headache centers around something; and that is abnormalities in the human body.

Headache is a sign of something being wrong in the human system which is caused mostly by stressing and over working the human system. So the first remedy is:

1)Relaxation: if you are having headache, don't panic, it might be because you have over worked your body system and all you need to do is to relax. Take a break from all activities and just lie down on your back on a fluffy sofa that is very convenient.

2)Calm down your nerves: sometimes having headaches might b due to too much of noise, hardly do people know that too much of beat most especially hip-hop beat affects the functions of the brain and thus all you need to do is to move away from where there is noise and calm down for a while.

3)Application of water: here is a natural and most prescribed method for people suffering from headache. Just take a cold shower or you pour water on your head, you can also try to drink a glass of clean water (the water must be cold water) and experience the magic.

4)Use of drugs: After trying the natural methods, it is also advisable to use drugs which consists of elements like magnesium and nutrients like riboflavin.

5)Massage: waoh!!! when you are so fortunate to get someone with magical hands to do this, then headache is a thing of the past.

ALTERNATIVE WAYS TO CURE HEADACHE WITHOUT THE USE OF DRUGS

Headache is a very discomforting pain many feel in their heads after having a stressful day or after being hit on the head. Headaches can come up at any time and can cause severe discomfort to its victim.

The conventional way of curing headaches has always been through the use of drugs, but science has revealed natural ways of curing headaches without necessarily ingesting a number of chemical substances (aspirin, Panadol e.t.c) which might have side effects in the long run. When you take these tablets, all you do is smother the symptoms while ignoring the trigger that caused the headache.

Below are some of those drug free ways in which an individual can cure him or herself of headaches without having to visit the clinic or hospital;

1. WATER
   Scientists have revealed that regularly drinking water can reduce the risk of having severe headaches and migraines. Water is a natural resource available to all but it is highly subject to neglect as people just remember to take a sip of water only when they are thirsty, but in the real sense, water should replace our beverages and should be taken at every point in time.

2. NUTS
   A nut prominent for its ability to cure headache is Almond. It is a natural remedy and a healthier alternative to drugs. It contains something called salicin that helps it act as a pain reliever. Try eating a handful everyday and watch headaches flee from you.

3. HOT OR COLD WATER PRESS
   Headaches have also been known to be relieved by the use of hot or cold water placed on the affected part of the head, but what works for a person might not work for the other and so the you need to know exactly which works for you, hot or cold water as some headaches have been said to be caused by expanded blood vessels and applying something cold to the area would constrict the vessels and relieve the pain and so also with dilated blood vessels.

4. AVOID MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATES
   Monosodium glutamates are added to foods to enhance its flavour and many suffer headaches from eating such foods possibly due to the fact that it excites our neurons. Make sure to read food labels to avoid consuming such foods.

These are just a few tips but very effective if you try them out.

HEALTH COMPETITION - TOPIC : HEADACHES SOLUTION

It is my honor to join this health competition sponsored by @tatjanastan.

My personal picture of having headache

One of the most common complain is the headache. Headache is the pain felt by any region of our head. Based on my experiences and observation or even studies some of the causes of headache are stress, hunger and dehydration.

Yesterday night while going to our plant I was struck by headache due to stress of issuing Official receipts to clients. What I did? I relax my mind and take a nap. Yes , it is hilarious after awhile I am ok.

So there are ways of treatment option for headache including self care therapies and over the counter medications. Self care therapies refer to the activities on how to take good care of yourself. Activities to avoid stress like yoga, meditation,exercise and the best activity is sleep and rest. Drink a lot of water is another way to prevent stress and headache. When we can't eat at the right time for meal, we can feel headache. Why? These occur not from a lack of nourishment, but from what happens to the body because of the lack of food coming into it. When you don’t eat properly your glucose levels drop dangerously low. The over the counter medicines are those prescribed by the doctors such as alaxan, paracetamol, aspririn, diclofenac and ect. When taking these headache drugs, avoid products that contain caffeine. Any medication containing barbiturates or narcotics should be used sparingly.

WAYS HEADACHE CAN BE CURB WITHOUT THE USE OF MEDICATION

Am writing this due to the post made by @tatjanastan on headache and how to curb it.

CONCEPTUALISING HEADACHE
Actually headache is seen to be a normal malady that each and every one of us has faced in our lifes, there is no person here that can outrightly say that he or she has not experienced headache before, even though it didn't have similar etiology. Headache can be controlled but this depends on the etiological rising of the headache, meaning that it could be caused by various things such as; stroke, migraine, hypertension, depression,emotional imbalance , running, anxiety, injury on the body; this aspect depends on the severity of the injury and lots more too numerous to mention

SPECIFICATION
Headache can be specified into two groups such as primary and secondary group.

PRIMARY: The minor migraines we encounter falls under this group, tension headache and clustered headache

SECONDARY: These are usually caused by infectious problems in the head,ranging from dental pain, bleeding in the brain such as encephalities or meningitis,drugs, medication abuse and Hangovers.

But before any physician gives out a solution to a particular disorder in the body, the history of such disorder is usually taken note of, so one needs to be careful on precriptions to be made, but in the absence of no medication there are ways we can curb headache, they are;

(1) RESTING: this aspect is very vital, we know fully well that stress, trauma,tension,migraines causes headache, but with reasonable hours of rest, 6 to 8 hours, we can regain our selfs back.

(2)YOGA: It is scientifically proven that yoga curbs headache if not curing it totally and some specific moves can be used for that purpose such as (a)Tadasana:mountain pose(b)Garudasana:Arms opening between the shoulder blades (c)parsvottanasana:arms opening the chest.

(3)DIET : Its pertinent to understand that eating right and taking every meal in its correct proportion curbs headache,imagine consuming a whole lot of sugar filled food which rises your glucose level for a while and then not mentaining that equilibruim, headache will certainly occur.

(4)WATER: water works out magic for us, cleanses our system and goes ahead to reduce the pressure we place on our head which caused stress, so water reduces headache.

(5)General healthy living, helps us to reduce the level of stress on our body and inturn reduces headache.

Am aideedavies and i hope i have been able to contribute greatly to your already vast knowledge.

Health Competition Headaches

So I’m writing this because I’m entering the contest by @tatjanastan for how to get rid of headaches without medicine.

Something my mom has always done to me (which I do until this day) is apply pressure to the top of my forehead. She said the reason we get headaches is because the blood is rushing to our head. So when you apply pressure to the forehead long enough it helps push the blood.

Now I don’t know if there’s truth in that or if their is science behind it, but I do know that it works for me and I do the same for my fiance and it seems to help her out as well.

HEALTH COMPETITION - TOPIC : HEADACHES

So I decided to take part in the health competition hosted by @tatjanastan here on this awesome platform, please note that the length of my post (not too long) and the use of just one photo are both requirements for the competition.

Headache refers to any simple, complicated, acute form of pain felt anywhere in the region of the head or neck. There are many forms, types or manifestation of headache, but one of most common presentation is migraine. Frequently experienced headaches can have very destabilizing and discomforting effect.

There is also an increased risk of depression in those with severe aches in the head region. While the main cause of headache may be stress, other diseased conditions usually manifest through headache. Paracetamol or panadol is usually prescribed as first choice treatment, however note that the use of Non Steroidal Anti inflammatory Drugs like aspirins, dichlophenac, etc are not advised for ulcer patients as they increase the hydrochloric acid content of the stomach.

Most times, patients having headaches may be advised to take a rest, headaches may be experienced on different part of the headache, ranging from frontal to lateral, apart from the aboved named causes of headache, headaches could arise from head injuries or hits maybe in an accident. If headache persits, patients are advised to see a doctor to ascertain the exact cause(s).

However, regular exercises, healthy habits like watching movies and sitting out with friends. is of the essence too.
