There are
several kinds of headaches. While many people say they suffer from
migraines, the most common headache is called a stress headache. Causes
include stress, skipping meals, irregular sleep habits, or certain foods.
One of the first things many people do after suffering a headache is reach for
a pain reliever in the medicine cabinet, but that's not always the best
idea. In fact, there are other simple things you can do. Lie down
in a dark, quiet room and try to sleep. Also, try to figure out what led
to the headache. In addition, you should try to avoid things that are
problematic and bother you. One idea is a headache log where you can
record when the headache first appears, the time each one happens, and where
the pain is felt. You get the idea. Its common sense and it's
trying to figure out the best way to approach a problem that can be chronic.
