Stress Headaches - How You Can Cure Them

Headaches have become quite a common complaint due to the stressful world in which we live. You should not, though, think that having a throbbing head every day is normal. If you would like to be taught how to prevent or even cure your stress headaches, keep reading! Depending on the overall cause of your headaches, some of these solutions might work better than others.

Ice packs can be a great way to lessen a stress headache. You can make your own ice packs with a cold towel and a bag filled with ice (in a pinch frozen veggies will do). Lie down and try to relax, keeping the ice pack on your forehead, and moving it after a few minutes to the back of your neck and the top of your head. If one spot hurts more than another, make sure it gets extra time with the ice pack. Ice has the effect of numbing pain, and it can reduce the inflammation that's causing the headache. This won't address the cause of your tension headaches, but it can be quick way to get relief.

One of the most common causes of the stress headache is dehydration so drinking more water might be a good solution for you. You might not always realize that you are dehydrated especially when other things are distracting you. Remember: drinking more of a caffeinated beverage like soda or energy drinks or coffee isn't a good idea because that can actually exacerbate your headaches. If you want to rehydrate yourself, you need to drink plain water or, if you hate plain water, herbal iced tea or some pure fruit juice. Eating salty foods contributes to dehydration so you can further help yourself by cutting back on your junk, snack and salty food intake.

Wearing anything on or around your head may be contributing to your headaches. A headband is obvious as a culprit but even things like sunglasses, headphones, hats and helmets can cause unneeded tension in those areas. There are some people who get headaches called "external compression headaches" and these are caused by pressure exerted around the head. Something that might not feel uncomfortable when you put it on may be constricting the blood flow when you keep it on for hours at a time.

So if you usually wear things around or on your head, you should try going without them for a little bit.

In conclusion, stress headaches aren't anything that people typically want to deal with. They can be brought on by anything from illness to complex internal issues to wearing a hat that is too tight. You might try one (or more) of the remedies we have suggested here but if they fail to prove useful, it is time to call your doctor.
