What are the reasons for pain when pressing the temple?

1. Genetic factors. About 60% of migraine patients suffer from genetics, so genetics is very important. That is to say, if the mother and father have migraines, their children will often have migraines.

2. Mental factors. For example, some students who do not get enough rest during exams may experience migraine. Mental factors are a triggering factor. Emotions such as anxiety, anger, work stress, and excessive sadness may trigger migraines.

3. Neurological factors. The most common neurological factors are damage to the hypothalamus and trigeminal spinal nucleus caused by work stress, which will cause the release of neuropeptides. The release of neuropeptides will cause vasoconstriction and dilation, and finally cause headaches.

Which life-saving acupuncture points should not be touched

There are many acupuncture points on the body. Some acupuncture points can help people improve diseases, while some acupuncture points may endanger health once touched. Therefore, in our daily lives, we must pay attention to which acupuncture points can be massaged and which cannot be massaged. Then, which life-saving acupuncture points cannot be touched?

1. Back of the head

It contains the respiratory and cardiac center and the brain stem, which is responsible for maintaining important physiological functions such as heartbeat, breathing, digestion, body temperature, and sleep. It can be said to be the "life center." The skull at the back of the head is relatively weak. If it is severely injured, it may cause fatal intracranial hematoma.

Common injuries: car accident injuries, beating injuries, falling injuries, smashing injuries, falling injuries, etc.

2. Hitting the carotid sinus

The carotid artery, as the name suggests, is the artery in the neck through which blood is transported to the head.

The carotid sinus is the dilated portion at the end of the common carotid artery and the beginning of the internal carotid artery, located at the upper edge of the flat thyroid cartilage. There are abundant sensory nerve endings under the outer membrane of the carotid sinus wall. The endings are swollen and appear as several layers of oval structures under the electron microscope. They are generally called pressure receptors and are related to the blood pressure regulation function.

Simply put, if the human body is excited and the blood pressure rises, the carotid sinus will sense it and send a signal to affect the nerves, slowing down the heartbeat and lowering blood pressure.

However, the "psychological quality" of this sensitive carotid sinus is not very good. If this place is hit hard, the carotid sinus will be "shocked", which will reflexively cause a rapid drop in blood pressure, and the person may faint.
