How
To Stop Headaches
Advice Notes 71-80
71
Aerosols are bad for you. If you are prone
to sinus infection aerosols are bad for you so try not to use
them as far as possible.
72
If you use glasses or contacts, check your
eyes periodically. Once you develop a defect with your vision
it is a very good thing to get yourself tested at least once
every six months.
73
If you have a family history pf poor eyesight
get yourself examined periodically. Most vision defects
are
hereditary so if one of your parents started using glasses
at an early age, there is 25% chance that you might have
the same
problem as well.
74
Never shake your head violently. You may want to refrain from
riding fast rollercoasters, or even driving on unfinished roads.
75
A gentle shake of your head however can tell you if you do have
a sinus infection. If you move your head even slightly, the
pain will increase and this is a good method of deciding whether
the headache is actually due to a sinus infection. If you have
a sinus infection, do not shake your head as the pain will increase.
76
Another method is to try bending over. The moment you lower
your head you will feel as if there is something heavy inside
your head. If doing so leads you to discover you have a sinus
infection, refrain from bending over until the infection clears.
77
Avoid irritating people. Anger and irritation are major causes
of headaches.
78
Avoid stuffy rooms. Stuffy rooms mean that obviously there is
not enough air in the room. If the room smells musty too it
is a good idea to get out f the room or open all the windows
and doors and let the fresh air come in.
79
It is also not good for you to sleep in a room that does not
have proper ventilation. Even if the A/C is turned on, try to
also turn on the fan to circulate the air.
80
Dip cotton in iced water and apply it on your forehead. This
is a way of soothing a sore head. But do not leave on the cotton
for too long.
Or if you have had a particularly bad day you could try applying
an ice bag to your head. But again, remember that objective
is to cool your head and not to chill it so do not apply the
ice bag for too long.
