Say Goodbye to Pesky <strong>Headache</strong>s<br />
Whether you have a tension headache or migraine, it hurts.<br />
Everyone gets a headache from time to time. Sometimes, the only<br />
way to cure it is a trip to your headaches specialist in <strong>Joondalup</strong>.<br />
Before you go, though, try these quick tips to soothe the pain.<br />
Migraines<br />
The throbbing, pulsing pain of a<br />
migraine is unbearable and often come<br />
with nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity<br />
to light and sound. There are, however,<br />
some ways you can relieve the pain<br />
while waiting it out.<br />
Try cooling your forehead. You can use an ice pack or bag of<br />
frozen peas. Keep the cold pack on your forehead for fifteen<br />
minutes, and then wait fifteen before you put it on again.<br />
Migraines are notorious for sensitivity to light and noise. Remove<br />
yourself from these situations. Dim the lights, turn off the TV, or
use blackout curtains. Wear dark sunglasses outside. Anti-glare<br />
screens on your computer may also help prevent migraines.<br />
Tension <strong>Headache</strong>s<br />
When you have a tension, or stress, headache, the dull pain and<br />
pressure can feel like your skull is being squeezed. Tension<br />
headaches last anywhere from thirty minutes to days, but they<br />
usually don’t keep you from doing the things you want to do.<br />
To relieve the pain of a tension headache, try a warm compress. A<br />
heating pad on your neck or the back of your head often helps.<br />
You may even try a warm shower.<br />
External Compression <strong>Headache</strong>s<br />
Many women get a headache when wearing a ponytail.<br />
Sometimes, you can get a headache if your hat or a headband is<br />
too tight. We call these external compression headaches. The best<br />
way to relieve this headache is to loosen the offensive object on<br />
your head. If you can take your hair down, that often helps.<br />
General <strong>Headache</strong> Relief<br />
Some people get headaches when they<br />
chew gum or eat crunchy or sticky<br />
foods. It may be a medical condition<br />
that affects your jaw that causes these.<br />
To prevent the pain, avoid gum and<br />
those foods. If you must eat foods that
cause pain, take small bites. Keep in mind that if you chew your<br />
fingernails or anything else, this can also cause the pain, so you<br />
might want to curb those habits. If you grind your teeth at night,<br />
a mouth guard may help. You can get one from your dentist.<br />
Relaxation and massage can help relieve headaches, too. Whether<br />
you do yoga or progressive muscle relaxation, any headaches<br />
caused by stress will lessen. You can massage your own neck and<br />
temples to help relieve headache pain.<br />
Ginger and caffeine have both been found effective at relieving<br />
headaches, especially when you use them along with an over-thecounter<br />
pain medicine like acetaminophen. Coffee, tea (with or<br />
without ginger), or even a ginger supplement should help.<br />
<strong>Headache</strong> <strong>Treatment</strong> <strong>Joondalup</strong> doesn’t have to include a visit to<br />
a medical centre or drugstore. Try out different methods until you<br />
find the one, or combination, that works best for you.
