Sometimes you can feel a headache coming on and know just by where you are that this is the cause for you headache, for example- you are in a room with too many screaming children, a very loud TV, or the construction going on just outside your office window just won’t stop. Other times the pain can sneak up on you and cause such pain as to debilitate you for the rest of the day.
It isn’t always clear as to why a headache is brought on so suddenly or more but there is hope. If you can locate or understand key triggers that happen to be the main pain provokers you can avoid headaches for a long time.
Sometimes headaches , come from the office in the form of far too many scents- (I notice this especially around valentines and Christmas when all my female employees are trying out their new gifts- perfume!) It sounds funny that one should get a headache from perfume, but have you ever had to stand by someone wearing too much- seriously with 15 different tastes in perfume my office can start to smell like a wilting flower shop by mid-valentines day.
A shift in barometric pressure may lead to headaches- migraine suffers should avoid especially hot times in the day, with a cool towel on the forehead and loose clothing this will help avoid some of the pressure. When its cold the density of the air in the atmosphere can lead to sinus headaches, so bundle up and drink a lot of water, if pain increases or you have several nose bleeds it’s time to visit the doctor.
Getting enough sleep can be really hard at times but not as hard as fending off a migraine which does happen when we don’t get enough sleep; Blood vessels in the brain dilate and activate the trigeminal nerve- the main nerve associated with migraines. Try to go to bed early and at the same time, if you know you are going to have a late night, try to get some cat naps in during you lunch hour.
Stress, stress, stress- it does a number on the body and your brain is not left out on this one; according to a study in the journal Health: 80 percent of all migraines are caused by stress. That’s because stress causes fluctuation in cortisol and adrenaline- the flight or fight hormones- which can lead to pain and nausea. Stress makes most of us without realizing it clench our neck and jaw muscles causing pain in the neck and face that in turn can sets off tension headaches. Removing yourself from the stressful event can help, or deep meditation, massage, or deep breathing can help trim back the head ache.
