I'm not a person who usually gets sick or have symptoms of discomfort frequently, however yesterday I had a severe headache, it was almost unbearable, so unbearable that I wanted to get my head off. After a paracetamol continued the torture, in short, I had to sleep to be able to solve the problem. In the morning I magically woke up like new.
The pains on either side of the body are a sign of our system. This signal means something is not right or there is a fault. No matter how tiny the disease we must pay close attention to pain, especially when it is in the head, because in the skull is one of the most important organs of the body, the brain. So, what can headaches mean?
The Hated Migraine
It is very common to know people who suffer from this type of abnormality. The symptoms of migraine can appear from a very early age, this results due to the changes of pressure, inflammation and alteration of the blood flow, producing sharp and persistent pains in the head.
There are external circumstances that can cause migraine or intensify it, such as alcoholic beverages, tobacco, allergies, stress, noise, lots of light and even a lot of physical work.
Beware of Blood Pressure.
When there is a lot of force in the blood flow, it hits the arterial walls causing severe headaches. It is vital to be careful with the pressure exerted by our heart to pump blood. Not taking care of this type of anomaly can produce even a cerebrovascular accident in the worst case, a heart attack or little by little we may lose memory and mental agility.
Blood pressure can intensify as the years go by, which is why older people have to have high blood pressure.
Bad habits.
As surely many of us know, the practice of smoking cigarettes is harmful to health and can cause an impact on our blood vessels causing headache.
Nothing worse than a hangover because we drink a lot of alcohol, we feel slow, our responses are slow, dehydration is annoying, the head asks for help and the liver asks for help even more. When we drink alcohol we can overload the functioning of the liver that is to metabolize the alcohol, in addition to absorb it in this case. By not being able to efficiently fulfill its functions, alcohol is distributed in the body and produces negative biological effects.
We also have to emphasize that poor nutrition causes distress in the head.
A headache can not be taken as a game, as this can mean a migraine, we have high blood pressure or it can be produced by having bad habits, all this can trigger diseases such as strokes, heart deterioration and vessels blood, deterioration of our cognitive system, among many more diseases.
Sometimes we tend to take medications to control headaches and what we do is hide the disease we have. The ideal is to go to a doctor to perform a complete analysis and rule out abnormalities of the body.
Take care of your body and your health!
