Headache: Symptoms and Treatment

Probably everyone knows how unpleasant it is when they blew their heads. Symptoms following negligence in relation to this important part of the body are very painful, annoying and terribly interfere with work, rest or study. Moreover, the consequences of such “blowing” can be very annoying and entail dangerous diseases that can make a person disabled, or even lead to death. So, if the head is blown, the symptoms should not be ignored. Be sure to determine the problem and immediately begin to be treated.

Can I blow my head? Cold Symptoms

Many are ridiculed by the popular definition of "blew their heads." Symptoms, they say, indicate the presence of a disease that has a completely scientific name. Moreover, there are several such names, and all health disorders are treated in their own way. This is true. But the people are wise, and in their characterization of what happened clearly indicates their cause. Most colds, especially in the summer heat, are caused by drafts. Risk factors are as follows:

1. Air conditioning turned on to maximum. Especially dangerous for those who are closest to him.
2. Open door-windows at opposite ends of the room.
3. Dry head on the street in a strong wind.
4. Personal "airing" arranged in public transport, that is, protruding the head from the windows of the same bus in order to cool.
5. Opening all the windows in your car. Then you get a full bouquet of all sorts of colds. If anyone does not know, medically competently lower the windows on only one side, and no more than half.

And if you add very cold drinks to these conditions in large quantities, and even with ice or kilograms eat ice cream, be sure that you will soon have health problems.

What are we paying attention to

If you have a bleeding head, the symptoms are by no means limited to pains in the indicated organ, although, of course, you can not do without them. However, they are still added to:

1. Blood pressure jumps. For hypertensive patients, this can be said to be everyday, but they should also pay attention to the “unscheduled” rise. People not suffering from hypertension should be on their guard right away.
2. Dizziness, or even a slight violation of coordination.
3. Chills followed by fever.
4. A soft buzz in the ears. It feels like you hear blood in your head.
5. Often the impression is that the hair roots are sore (although they seem to be sick).

It is understood that the symptoms are very vague and can correspond to a large number of diseases that occur when the head is blown. Only the doctor can decipher the symptoms, as well as make an accurate diagnosis, so you should not postpone a visit to him “for later”.

Where exactly does it hurt

It is very important to determine in which place a person’s head was blew. Symptoms in adults and children are approximately similar, but what to expect from a child, even if a respectable uncle with a higher education sometimes can not precisely indicate where exactly he is uncomfortable? But for the diagnosis it is very important!

1. Frontal pain. In most cases, above the eyebrow and to the right. This is a clear manifestation of the effects of draft.
2. Lumbago in the temple. Also most often from the right side, and usually when touched. There is clearly not a "bleeding head" - the symptoms clearly indicate more serious problems.
3. Aching pain in the temple, rising peaks and sharply falling. It is characteristic of osteochondrosis of the cervical spine. Temperature is not accompanied.
4. “Shoots” the crown. These are the so-called reflected pains. That is, something else hurts you, but in the dark it only surrenders. A full and thorough examination may be required.
5. Lumbago in the back of the head. Another sign that you’ve been blown up. Or, if observed in the morning and in the absence of drafts, during sleep you rarely turned, and your head was in a rather uncomfortable position.
6. Increasing and falling pain, aggravated in a supine position, can talk about a bad tooth.
7. It shoots in the ear and on the same side the lateral part of the head hurts - most likely, otitis media. It is also called “blowing” and can give to the entire forehead and back of the head.

If you can more accurately describe your feelings (at least for yourself), and you yourself will know what to do until you reach the clinic, and the doctor will make a more accurate and faster diagnosis.

Headache: Symptoms and Treatment

If it happened that you didn’t get to the doctor (often the signs appear in the evening or at the weekend), and the symptoms indicate exactly the pathology we are considering, we must be able to help ourselves on our own until the hospital opens. To get started, take aspirin and drink tea - strong and with honey. If you have sore throat, rinse it with decoctions of sage, oak or calendula (a spoonful of dry product in a glass of boiling water). Often accompanying colds of the head, myositis (muscle pain in the neck) is relieved by lubricating the affected area with an anti-inflammatory ointment, followed by rubbing. At night, it is necessary to insulate the head - at least with a hat. You can light the aroma lamp.

With ear pains, a compress is done, but not on the shell itself, but around it. To do this, a hole is cut in a thick gauze layer, the fabric is wetted with vodka and put on a aching organ. From above everything is closed with polyethylene, then with cotton, and then fixed with a bandage or kerchief. In two hours the pain will subside. But in the morning - a run to the doctor: otitis can cause serious complications, including hearing loss and inflammation of the brain.

Is your head caught?

In any case, a visit to the doctor cannot be avoided if you get a headache. Symptoms may not only indicate a cold. Headaches, temperature, jumping pressure and darkening in the eyes are also caused by very serious diseases:

1. Infectious brain abscess. If the head persistently hurts for more than half a day - this is a very alarming signal. And this problem is only surgically resolved.
2. Meningitis. Including caused by drafts, especially if you walked in the wind with a wet head. But it can be contagious. The disease is very dangerous, fraught with death.

We have already talked about osteochondrosis. Migraine also causes headaches. However, both of these diseases are chronic. That is, people suffering from them know what to do in case of attacks.

Prevention - always!

In order not to become a regular visitor to medical institutions, it is enough to follow the simple rules of personal safety: do not sit under the window, wear a hat on windy days, know what symptoms, if your head is bulging, and if they occur, consult a doctor rather than drink painkillers. Do not be ill!
