People around us often complain about headaches, are troubled by frequent attacks, and even wonder if they have intracranial tumors. In fact, clinicians tell us that the more frequent a headache is, the less likely it is an organic disease. According to statistics, about 80% of general headaches are tension or neurovascular headaches, or migraine. Their occurrence or aggravation is related to mental factors, that is, they are mostly caused by bad mental stimulation or long-term mental activities. The ups and downs of the stock market, the winning or losing of a gambling game on the mahjong table, the gains and losses in intense study, work and social competition are all inferior spiritual stimuli. Working in front of the computer for a long time and using the brain at the desk for a long time are easy to cause brain fatigue and headache. & lt/P & gt；
& ltP> The best way to prevent this headache is to pay attention to mental health and life hygiene, to be open-minded, not to be bothered by the gains and losses in the stock market and even in life, to avoid bad living habits and hobbies, and not to give yourself trouble. Pay attention to the scientific use of the brain in work and study, don't be overtired, do a combination of work and rest, ensure seven or eight hours of high-quality sleep every night, and try to make your life regular. & lt/P & gt；
& ltP> Enriching life content and learning to rest scientifically are also effective measures to prevent and treat this headache. Some people say that people with high mental labor intensity are prone to headaches, which has no scientific basis. In fact, people with good headaches are mostly people who don't rest. Few writers who study science or write at their desks all day have headaches. The trick is that they are good at rest and have a colorful life. Tolstoy, a great Russian writer, insisted on going outdoors for an hour every day and playing happily in the suburbs for half a day every week until he was 60 years old, which is one of the reasons why his creativity never dried up and he never had a headache. & lt/P & gt；
& ltP> To prevent nervous headache, we should also pay attention to improving our living environment, because bad environment will disturb people's mood, and bad mood is an important factor causing headache. Therefore, it is necessary to arrange your workshop in order to make your home bright and clean, and then decorate it with flowers and green grass to keep the air fresh. Such an environment will definitely make you feel better, and you may forget your headache or even stop it.

Causes of recurrent headache
Headache is one of the most common symptoms of human beings. According to British statistics, 85% of the population will have a headache at least once a year, and 38% of adults will have a headache within two weeks. This shows how common headaches are. Fortunately, most headaches are not caused by any serious physical problems, nor by pathological changes in the tissues in the skull. However, there are so many causes of headache that we absolutely need the help of professional medical staff to find it accurately.
You know, headache is just a symptom, not a disease in itself. Buying painkillers every time you have a headache is not a good way to treat it. To treat headache, we must first find out the cause of headache, and then prescribe the right medicine is the best policy.
The main diseases that cause headaches are tension headache, mixed headache, subluxation of spine, cervical myelopathy and cervical arthropathy. Cluster headache, migraine, drug-dependent headache, depression, hypoglycemia, diabetes, anemia, thyroid diseases, dental problems, glaucoma, vision problems, sinusitis, traumatic headache, sequelae after spinal surgery, upper respiratory tract infection or some rare but very serious patients such as stroke and cerebral hemorrhage, temporal arteritis, meningitis, intracranial hypertension, brain tumor, etc., are really difficult to list.
Fortunately, most headaches are caused by tension headache, mixed headache, spinal dislocation, cervical degeneration and cervical arthropathy. As long as the correct diagnosis is found, the treatment is not too difficult.
Tension headache, the range of pain is usually symmetrical, extending from the back pillow to the forehead as shown in the figure. The headache lasts for about a few hours. Treat headaches every day during the onset. Usually, patients will not notice that headaches are related to mental stress, but after careful inquiry, it is not difficult to find the direct relationship between patients' nervousness and headaches. Dr. J.Murtagh, an Australian medical authority, pointed out in his book 1994 that besides mental factors, the dysfunction of cervical spine is also the main cause of tension headache.
The symptoms of combined headache are similar to tension headache, degenerative headache of cervical spondylosis, migraine and drug-dependent headache. Patients often describe headaches as if their heads were about to explode, and they feel pain all day. Fortunately, it usually lasts only 3-7 days, but sometimes it lasts for several months. Headache attacks often occur during busy work, sometimes after traffic accidents and neck or head injuries.
Cervical degenerative headache is caused by cervical dislocation, cervical degeneration and cervical arthropathy. Some scholars call this headache posterior occipital neuralgia. Headache is mainly caused by the failure of the first, second and third cervical nerve roots. The range of pain is often only one side, extending from the neck to the occipital, the head side and the back of the eyeball, as shown in the figure. Many medical staff misdiagnose cervical degenerative headache as migraine.
The above three kinds of patients often cause headaches, which can be effectively solved by chiropractors. As for other causes of headache, chiropractors can also diagnose patients and give them appropriate treatment and referral.
Headache is a kind of disease caused by neuropsychiatric factors such as intracranial inflammation, hypoxia, hemorrhage, tumor, mechanical injury, cranial nerve and sinus lesions. Chinese medicine is also called "head wind" and "brain wind".
