Headache is a common disease in life. When a headache occurs, most people don't know what causes it. When you go to the hospital for examination, you often can't find out the reason. Lack of sleep, cold and excessive stress may all give you headaches, but they are by no means the only causes. A recent survey by American medical experts shows that 78% of women can't figure out the real cause of headache. And some common living habits are stealing your health unconsciously and giving you a headache! What is the cause of headache? You must be careful of nine factors.
1. British health experts who wear high heels say that if the heel is more than 7 cm, 19% will have different degrees of headache symptoms. Wearing high heels for a long time will make the heels less and less concentrated, and the whole body weight will be concentrated on the soles of the feet. When walking, the ground reaction directly acts on the head reflex point of the forefoot, which makes the brain muscles tense and causes headaches.
Experts also found that the harder the heel, the greater the response of the ground to the reflex point, and the more serious the headache symptoms. If you are used to wearing high heels, please put a soft and comfortable silicone forefoot pad in your shoes to relieve the stress on your head.
2. Excessive sexual life A recent study by the Munster Neurology Research Center in Germany showed that excessive sexual life is easy to cause migraine. Experts explain that sex makes you nervous and your heart rate increases, which leads to increased intracranial pressure.
For some women with average stress resistance, frequent orgasms will weaken their blood pressure stress ability and cause headaches. Want to ease, in addition to controlling the frequency of sexual life, you can also extend the foreplay time, so that the body has a certain adaptation period. Minimizing the change of body position can also relieve headache symptoms.
3. Allergic Rhinitis British medical researchers say that 34% of allergic rhinitis patients have migraine symptoms. This kind of headache is quite different, which is manifested by the jumping of lumps on both sides of the head, but it is usually painful on one side, sometimes accompanied by symptoms sensitive to light and sound.
Researchers say that even if your nasal cavity feels normal, you should pay more attention and stay away from allergens such as pollen after this migraine, because this headache may be the body's first reaction to rhinitis!
Some people will suddenly have a severe headache when eating ice cream, but this is actually a manifestation of "brain freezing". "Brain freeze" reached its peak within 30-60 seconds after rapid intake of ice cream, and eased after 10-20 seconds. The site of pain is usually the temple or the back of the eye. Experts say that cold stimulation is the main cause of temporary headache. But the good news is that preventing "ice cream headache" is very simple. As long as you slow down the eating speed and wait for it to melt on the tongue surface before swallowing it, instead of swallowing ice cream directly into the back of your mouth, you can effectively avoid this unnecessary pain.
5. Gingivitis Even if you don't feel toothache, in the early process of gingivitis, the teeth will gradually tighten, forming one side pain.
Experts say that more than 70% of "gum pain" occurs at night. If the painful part starts from the face and radiates to the temple, don't take painkillers. Try the good method of Korean medical experts: mix an egg white with the same amount of white wine, mix well, take a sip, put it in your mouth, spit it out after 1 minute, twice a day, and it will relieve inflammation and pain in 2-3 days.
6. Taking contraceptives Long-acting contraceptives contain estrogen and progesterone. After this hormone enters the human body, it will affect the coagulation function of cerebral blood vessels and change blood circulation, which is also the cause of your headache.
However, British medical experts say that increasing the intake of vitamin C and eating less foods with higher cholesterol can stabilize blood circulation. Therefore, when taking long-acting contraceptives, eating more green vegetables and staying away from animal viscera can effectively avoid headaches.
7. Calcium deficiency medical experts say that calcium has a lot to do with brain nerve conduction. When calcium intake is insufficient, brain cells will be excited for a long time, and the nerve sensitivity of cerebral cortex will increase, causing insomnia and headache.
Calcium helps regulate vasoconstriction. When the blood circulation is not smooth, you will feel transient migraine. In addition to eating more dairy products and improving calcium content, I suggest that you often do outdoor sports. Vitamin D in the sun can not only help you improve the absorption rate of calcium, but also effectively relieve the nerve sensitivity of the cerebral cortex and reduce the possibility of headache.
8. With the increase of backpack weight, the tension of shoulder muscles gradually increases, and the nerve sensitivity behind the neck increases, so 1 1% white-collar women will have unilateral traction headache due to "shoulder bag overweight". In addition to appropriately reducing the weight of the backpack, you can also rotate the backpack on both shoulders. Balancing pressure can reduce tension at the back of the neck.
9. Sudden decline in vision
Continuous use of the computer for more than 8 hours may cause temporary vision loss. If the eyes are not properly rested at this time, the eye muscles will be in a state of contraction for a long time, causing nervous headache. At this time, it is necessary to moderately reduce the computer use time, massage the acupoints around the eyes, and stay away from the light source that may cause damage to the crystal. Headache is an early warning of vision loss. If you don't pay attention, your eyesight may suddenly drop in a short time!
