Combating a headache

The human body is a unique mechanism that regulates its own state and is able to maintain a normal state regardless of the external environment (within reasonable limits, of course). In other words, a healthy person should not feel discomfort in the form of headaches when the weather changes. Therefore, even if you previously considered yourself absolutely healthy, but you have a headache "for the weather", it is worth thinking.

Meteodependence is the result of a certain malfunction of the body. People suffering from chronic diseases usually during the change of weather occur relapses and exacerbations. Many people feel weakness, decreased mood, headaches of varying intensity.

Statistical studies show that the number of people who depend on weather changes is constantly growing. Meanwhile, scientists and doctors have not fully discovered this phenomenon. It is known that sudden changes in atmospheric pressure affect the amount of oxygen contained in the blood. Because of this, the blood vessels of the brain either dilate or narrow. This change affects a person’s overall well-being, causing a symptom of headaches.
As for sharp changes in air temperature, by disrupting the balance of neurotransmitters, this factor contributes to the excitation of human brain cells responsible for the occurrence of pain.

In the cold season, “weather” headaches can bother even those people who have a healthy head. This is largely due to the shortening of daylight. A person needs much more time to rest, but people who continue to work in the previous tense rhythm, as a result, get a failure of natural biorhythms. This is especially true for residents of large cities. It causes headaches.

Usually, weather addicts know their body and are able to “survive” weather changes. Compliance with simple rules helps relieve pain in the head.
First, you should protect yourself from other factors provoking symptoms (insufficient sleep time, coffee abuse, stress). During periods of changes in weather conditions, walks in the fresh air, sufficient fluid intake are useful.

Secondly, sometimes you can use painkillers, sleeping pills, sedatives. A massage of the head and temples helps.
Thirdly, it is easy to get rid of weather dependence, doing sports, hardening, leading an active lifestyle.
If the pain increases or increases, do not self-medicate, you should consult a doctor. In a special diary, record the days of attacks and possible causes of their occurrence. This will help to establish a diagnosis and prescribe treatment.
