Each person fights headaches in their own way. Some take medication right away, others drink a cup of coffee, and still others prefer to wait until it goes away on its own.
But if the first and second methods are scientifically proven, then the third option is the most harmful.
In fact, there are 5 ways to combat headaches, writes Life.ru , citing therapist Andrei Ryabkov.
Painkiller
The most effective way is a tablet (aspirin or ibuprofen). They are taken immediately at the first unpleasant sensations.
If the pain is severe, analgesics with caffeine are used.
Blood pressure
Knowing your blood pressure (high or low), you need to take the appropriate medications to normalize your blood pressure.
Compress
The next option is to use a cold compress, which is placed on the part where the pain is most acute.
The cold will cause the blood vessels to constrict and relief may follow.
Massage
Performed in the neck, temples or forehead area using gentle circular movements. It is recommended to press on the most tense points.
Fresh air
And sometimes it’s enough to simply air out the room or go for a walk.
But if the attacks are chronic and treatment methods do not help, then you need to seek help from a doctor.
