Migraine is familiar to 75 percent of the world's population. However, the global medical problem most often arises as a result of external factors. To the end, specialists were not able to identify the mechanisms of development of an unpleasant ailment. Do you often have a headache? The psychosomatics of the disease studies the influence of psychological factors on physical sensations. Let us dwell on this issue in more detail.
The result of mental torment
Did you know that shamans in African tribes often do not use painkillers in standard medical procedures? Instead of anesthesia, people deal with pain through self-hypnosis. Unfortunately, residents in developed countries do exactly the opposite. We are used to thinking about the bad, tormented and tormented, despite the fact that we are well aware of the possibility of materializing thoughts. Do you belong to the number of suspicious natures? Then do not be surprised that you are constantly haunted by a headache. The psychosomatics of the disease reflects the effect of external stimuli on human emotions.
Estranged
Ancient people sacredly believed in the ability to materialize thoughts, tried to protect themselves and their loved ones from unnecessary experiences. The accumulated knowledge was transmitted from generation to generation. However, now the connection with the heritage of the past is somewhat lost. A person trusts new technologies more and more, deliberately opening the door for informational negativity. People, despite all their technical literacy, forget about the moral aspect of the problem and the power of self-hypnosis. Due to negative emotions, a headache appears. Psychosomatics takes into account the influence of even minor causes. Next, let's talk about this in more detail.
The result of exposure to external stimuli
So, psychological headaches are associated with external factors, but they have the same symptoms as somatic (internal) ones. Thus, the body cries out for help, not wanting to put up with the conditions of constant stress. If you live under pressure and often come into conflict situations, be prepared to live with a constant side effect of migraine. But if you can’t change the stressful and dynamic working conditions of a modern person, then you can cope with the flow of negative impact that spills over us from the media. Just stop monitoring world news and watching political programs on television.
The process of starting a migraine (psychosomatics)
Headache is formed as a response of the body to external, sometimes even minor stimuli. At the time of a shock or stress situation, blood pressure instantly rises. The walls of blood vessels are compressed, which cannot but affect the brain. Against the background of external stimuli, intracranial pressure rises and the metabolism in the body is disturbed. When all these factors are combined, migraine pains appear that literally occupy part of the head.
The reaction of people experiencing shock, anger, or fright manifests itself with obvious physical symptoms: flushing, redness, or pallor. All these manifestations indicate a reaction of blood vessels to adrenaline rush. In this case, it is not necessary to bring oneself to nervous exhaustion, one negative thought is enough. So, we have already seen that psychosomatics plays an important role in the occurrence of a physical ailment. Headache is just a reaction of the body to the influence of external psychological factors.
What besides stress can cause migraines?
In addition to regular stress and gloomy thoughts about the future, there are many other negative factors in our lives. These include once experienced mental or physical trauma, the wounds of which are still not healed. As soon as a person refreshes past events, and the headache is right there.
Lack of love, mutual understanding in the family and inability to achieve goals can be oppressive every day. Internal torment and self-flagellation can also cause migraines. A person is simply torn to pieces by an accumulated bunch of negative emotions, including resentment, humiliation, awareness of one's own powerlessness.
Another initiator of migraine is depression. And if you do not fight this ailment, it goes into the chronic stage, and this means that headache also becomes frequent. The psychosomatics of a phenomenon indicates the problems of modern man. And if earlier this relationship was not considered, believing that depressive disorders are classified as fictitious diseases, then the stubborn growth rates of both ailments make me change my point of view. The number of diagnosed cases of depression is currently growing. The number of people suffering from chronic migraines is also growing rapidly.
For example
In the field of observation about how mental causes cause physical ailments, there are well-known pioneers. American Louise Hey suffered beatings and humiliation as a child. In her youth, due to constant stress, she lost a child, and subsequently proved to be barren. Louise’s husband turned out to be an unreliable person and betrayed her. She was not at all surprised when the doctors diagnosed her with uterine cancer. This is how psychosomatics affects the development of physical diseases. Headaches (Louise Hay experienced this on her own experience) can only be the tip of the iceberg. The woman did not give up, attended seminars, studied metaphysics, meditated and met with healers. So a tool was found to cure the ailment and the best-selling book Heal Yourself was written.
How does a headache occur?
Psychosomatics, symptoms and the occurrence of a headache are most often associated with physical or emotional overwork. In other words, the more people work, the higher the chances of making an unpleasant short-term ailment. Psychologists note that ambitious people who do not know how to survive failures are most affected by headaches caused by professional activities.
Migraine is a special type of headache caused by vasoconstriction and intracranial pressure. As we have already said, in most cases, psychosomatics is responsible for this. Headache and migraine symptoms can be considered salvation to some extent. Thus, the body goes on strike and refuses further emotional overstrain. Of the two evils, the body chooses the lesser: a restraining factor in the form of discomfort and pain.
Who is most prone to migraines?
Doctors formed a portrait of a modern man suffering from regular migraines. Most often he works in the intellectual sphere and has a good education. He is ambitious, stubborn, emotional, has a pathologically heightened sense of responsibility. The muscles of the face of our hero are always tense.
How to eliminate the symptoms?
The main topic of our conversation today is psychosomatics, headache, the causes of its occurrence. If three-quarters of the population is subject to migraines from time to time, and most of the prerequisites for the illness are psychological in nature, it is reasonable to ask the question: how to deal with this? First of all, you need to understand that the problem sits somewhere deep. You cannot get rid of it at the click or the wave of a magic wand.
Favorable living conditions - this is what will relieve painful headaches. Then it is necessary to harmonize the inner attitude and consciousness.
