use blackout curtains. Wear dark sunglasses outside. Anti-glare screens on your computer may also help prevent migraines. Tension Headaches When you have a tension, or stress, headache, the dull pain and pressure can feel like your skull is being squeezed. Tension headaches last anywhere from thirty minutes to days, but they usually don’t keep you from doing the things you want to do. To relieve the pain of a tension headache, try a warm compress. A heating pad on your neck or the back of your head often helps. You may even try a warm shower. External Compression Headaches Many women get a headache when wearing a ponytail. Sometimes, you can get a headache if your hat or a headband is too tight. We call these external compression headaches. The best way to relieve this headache is to loosen the offensive object on your head. If you can take your hair down, that often helps. General Headache Relief Some people get headaches when they chew gum or eat crunchy or sticky foods. It may be a medical condition that affects your jaw that causes these. To prevent the pain, avoid gum and those foods. If you must eat foods that
cause pain, take small bites. Keep in mind that if you chew your fingernails or anything else, this can also cause the pain, so you might want to curb those habits. If you grind your teeth at night, a mouth guard may help. You can get one from your dentist. Relaxation and massage can help relieve headaches, too. Whether you do yoga or progressive muscle relaxation, any headaches caused by stress will lessen. You can massage your own neck and temples to help relieve headache pain. Ginger and caffeine have both been found effective at relieving headaches, especially when you use them along with an over-thecounter pain medicine like acetaminophen. Coffee, tea (with or without ginger), or even a ginger supplement should help. Headache Treatment Joondalup doesn’t have to include a visit to a medical centre or drugstore. Try out different methods until you find the one, or combination, that works best for you.
