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. It's common sense and it's trying to figure out the best
way to approach a problem that can be chronic.
