Headache Triggers
Yes, your boss really can give you a headache. The
weather and even foods like cheese can bring on
those dreaded headaches and migraines.
Triggers:
Your Boss/stress at work and elsewhere
Strong Scents
Hair Accessories
Increase in Temperature/warm weather
Poor Posture
Various Foods: Red Wine, Cheese, Cold Cuts
Caffeine; used in moderation it "might" be acceptable and sometimes caffeine is used to stop a bad headache or a migraine in conjunction with medication to help stop pain
Skpping meals
Smoking
Intense Exercise (although mild/moderate exercise can be helpful)
The article (more like a slide presentation), says it is best to keep a diary to discover triggers and how to avoid them. Learn to manage stress and carefully watch your diet...avoiding trigger foods.
A suggestion was made to take Naproxen if necessary, to try physical therapy and to explore healthy techniques for coping with stress. |
I have read that article as well! My other main weather trigger is when the barometric pressure DROPS.......that means it is going to rain.......
It was a good article.... however it didn't advise people that if u have chronic, persistent h/a that u may need to get on preventative meds........
