Medical experts identify the common causes of headaches
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
At the Chronic Pain home page of Medicinenet.com, experts from Bucknell University provide information about what causes headaches, as well as strategies for relieving them.
Headaches often strike at the most inopportune times.
According to Bucknell University, their causes can include stress, skipping meals, irregular sleep habits, or certain foods.
* Lie down in a darkened, quiet room.
* Place an ice bag on your head.
* If you suffer from migraines, take medicine at the first signs of pain.
People who have frequent headaches should get regular exercise, try to maintain regular sleeping and eating patterns, and practice good posture.
They also may want to keep a headache log, including when each headache appears, where the pain is felt, the severity of the pain, and any factors that seem to trigger the headache.
