The cause of the headache was first known. Headaches can occur for many reasons. Headaches can occur if there is a problem with the scalp, flesh, bones, meninges, blood vessels in the brain, or even the fluid inside the head — CSF or cerebrospinal fluid.

In addition, the way of life can sometimes be a cause of headaches. For example, the use of computers and smartphones for Corona has increased.

Many are seen using laptops while lying down. Again, the position of many desktops is not right. Using the computer in such a non-stop manner causes stress on the neck, eyes and brain. This can be a headache.

Now small children are taking classes on smartphones and also playing games. Staring at the phone or reading short texts stimulates the brain. This is also one of the causes of headaches. Many people have sinusitis problems. If they stay in the AC for a long time or go straight into the AC room or take a bath or drink cold water without sweating in the heat, they may get a headache. Under extreme stress, the muscles of the head become tense. So many people have headaches due to work stress or stress. Both the eyes and the neck are related to the head. Eye or neck pain for any reason can cause headaches.

Inside the stroke is a headache for vascular problems. There are basically two types of stroke. One is a stroke when the blood vessel closes and the other is a stroke when the blood vessel ruptures.

Typically, when a blood vessel ruptures, the blood released from it spreads to the brain, causing severe pressure on the brain and the sensitive membranes or meninges around it. Then the pain starts to be felt from these meninges.

When the flow of blood vessels in the brain stops again, the cells in that part are destroyed and the place becomes swollen. Meningitis is also caused by pressure and swelling causes pain. Many times the blood vessels in the brain swell like balloons. This is called brain aneurysm. This can also be a headache.

When it is detected by MRI or MRA, patients are usually given coil embolization. AVM (arteriovenous malformation) or blood vessel congestion increases blood flow to the brain. This causes headaches. Such problems are usually treated with endovascular by physicians. So if you have a severe or severe unbearable headache, you must go to the doctor.

In addition to severe headaches, if there is pain in the eyes with pain, vomiting, convulsions, numbness of limbs or any part of the body, or if one becomes unconscious due to severe pain, one must seek medical attention on an urgent basis.

Again some pain we can cure ourselves. There is no need for medicine for this. For that we have to change our way of life. Such as using a restrained smartphone or not in front of a computer. Resting easily reduces headaches. Besides, neck exercises should be done for half an hour and five minutes in a row during work. Under no circumstances can a laptop be used while lying down.

Adjust the position of the desktop to suit your height. An occupational therapist can be consulted for this. Occasional physiotherapy can protect against headaches.
