Tension headache

Vascular tension headache is also known as neural headache. When the disease occurs, it is often accompanied by different symptoms such as dizziness, palpitations and shortness of breath. Once it occurs, the patient will feel very painful. In severe cases, there is even the possibility of shock. It can be seen how serious the harm is. The most important thing is that there is currently no effective treatment for vascular tension headaches, so lifestyle adjustments are the main focus of treating this disease.

There are many factors that lead to vascular tension headaches. Generally, if you are too emotional or often angry, it will easily cause this disease. However, no matter what the cause is, active treatment of the disease is the best solution.

Essentials for non-drug treatment of tension headaches:

1. Balanced diet:

A balanced diet is very useful to strengthen your immune system and support your nervous system. Try to consume less caffeine; drink alcohol in moderation; eat complex carbohydrates (whole-wheat bread, pasta and potatoes with skins), which are especially helpful in reducing mood swings, eat less delicate biscuits, cakes, etc.; eat enough fresh fruits and vegetables; eat less high-fat foods; eat slowly and take enough time to eat, as eating quickly will only make you more nervous. Avoid falling into the trap of self-medicating, for example, smoking more, numbing the pain with alcohol, taking medication, or drinking too much coffee. Doing so will only make things worse and do no good.

2. Guarantee the release time:

Make sure you have some time to relax every day. We all need to recharge. For example, many people relax by listening to music, reading, taking a bath, or watching comedy movies. In addition, ensure adequate sleep every day.

3. Take a deep breath to eliminate anxiety:

Facing a complex environment, deep breathing is the most helpful. It can calm you down and restore your spirit. Patients often feel tired, have headaches, and dizziness, which are actually caused by tension. Consciously practicing deep breathing exercises can effectively relieve the above symptoms, making people feel refreshed and energetic. There are many ways to practice. The simplest step is to take a breath as deep as possible, sink the air into the bottom of the abdomen, then hold your breath, and exhale slowly when you feel a little stuffy, and exhale as thoroughly as possible. Repeating this process about 20 times will generally help relieve tension.

4. Keep exercising:

Make exercise a part of your life. It doesn't need to be too challenging to start—an easy walk will do. Engage in outdoor activities but don't exercise too vigorously. You can take long walks, swim, jog, or travel outdoors. In addition to paying attention to your own psychological adjustment, you can also adjust the human body from an environmental and physiological perspective to relieve headaches and anxiety attacks.

For vascular tension headaches, following the above-mentioned lifestyle adjustments can effectively prolong the disease attack cycle and reduce the possibility of disease attacks as much as possible. In order to ensure the best results, please pay attention to the above-mentioned factors while also changing your bad living posture and avoid putting too much pressure on the head, neck, shoulder and back muscles.
