Why does the scalp feel tight and swollen?

With the development of society, people's lifestyles have changed dramatically. The lifestyles and living habits of many people are particularly irregular, and they only sleep for five or six hours a day, which can easily bring negative effects to the body. Staying up late for a long time can also cause the scalp to become tight and swollen, which is not only uncomfortable for yourself, but will also affect your work and study, so this is very bad.

A tight scalp may occur when you work late at night, are troubled by worries, or are under too much stress. Even going to bed with wet hair after washing it at night, or using air conditioning or a fan all night, will make your scalp tight.

Most people refer to this symptom as "scalp tension syndrome". Don't be nervous, this is not a disease, but just a physical manifestation of stress. All you need to do is relax and get rid of the "tense group" from your body, mind to your scalp. It can be seen that learning to relax yourself is the best way to deal with a tight scalp.

Although a tight scalp is not a disease, it is unbearable. Regarding the question of what to do if you have a tight scalp, experts say that you can relieve scalp tightness through massage, acupuncture at Taichong and Sanyinjiao points, and cooperate with whole-body acupuncture to soothe the liver and regulate qi.

Severe scalp tightness may be caused by damp heat in the body. Damp heat will go upwards, causing the scalp to tighten and headaches, which require medication to regulate the body. Another reason is scalp tension, headaches, and head swelling caused by cervical problems, which can be relieved by massage and acupuncture to stimulate the Fengchi point and Jiaji points on the neck.

It is considered to be caused by insufficient rest for the brain nerves, which will affect the living conditions. It is recommended that you do some outdoor exercise regularly, rest on time, and improve your sleep quality.

Headache is related to factors such as mental stress, poor sleep, and autonomic nervous system disorders. You should have a regular diet and lifestyle, adjust your mentality, ensure adequate sleep and a good mood, go on more outdoor outings, participate in more recreational activities, and listen to more music to divert your attention.
