We all know that the head hurts from the weather, but we do not guess - it can be even uncomfortable shoes. Experts told how to cope with a headache in different situations. Their opinion leads health information with reference to the "Komsomolskaya Pravda".

The pain relievers Paradoxically, but the fact: the more you swallow painkillers, the higher the risk that they will cause new attacks of headache. In our body there are analgesic mechanisms that, in response to pain, produce special hormone-like substances - endorphins and enkephalins - are our own "analgesics". Medications with regular and often unjustified admission suppress anti-pain structures, and the headache begins to arise simply from scratch, explains the neurologist Anna Gorenkova.

Get off the "analgin needle" helps relaxation techniques, neck and shoulder massage, meditation, yoga, breathing exercises.

Medications from the heart and birth control pills Unfortunately, many wonderful and effective medicines can cause chronic headaches. These include:.

- cardioprotection - nitroglycerin, verapamil, isosorbide and their derivatives;.

- hormonal - corticosteroids (prednisolone, hydrocortisone) and estrogens, which are part of contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy in the menopause;.

- lowering blood pressure - captopril (kapoten), metoprolol, nifedipine and containing complex preparations (adelphan, raunatin and others. );.

- non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs - diclofenac (voltaren), ibuprofen, indomethacin, naproxen.

If you feel a connection between taking medication and a headache, you need to tell the doctor about it. He will pick up another dose or a painless analog for you.

Sex, just sex Imagine, some people suddenly start to split up at the most inopportune time - namely, when making love. Yes, even at the climax. What is there pleasure here. Experts call this problem an "orgasmic headache". By the way, men suffer from the love-pain syndrome 3 times more often than women.

The cause of these pains is most often covered in increased blood pressure and early cerebral artery atherosclerosis. During sexual intercourse, as is known, the pressure jumps, the vessels dilate, the pulse increases, and the blood flows to the head.

If you experience "pain from love" regularly, then you need to turn to a neurologist and check the cerebral vessels.

Of proven home remedies can help a glass of strong, sweet black tea minutes for 10 goodbye, or one grapefruit, or a few sprigs of fresh parsley.

Food provocateur The most vicious provocateurs are the "dope" of a workaholic: coffee and chocolate. If the body does not receive a regular dose on time, he immediately avenges a headache. This is an abusus headache, as with a hangover, provokes their discontented pleasure center in the brain.

Many people react with a pulsating headache on special proteins - biogenic amines, the most famous of them is tyramine, says the neurologist Anna Gorenkova. These substances are contained in the ripened cheese, vinegar, mustard, mayonnaise, smoked pork, celery, soybean, pineapple, avocado, plums.

In many cases, the headache provokes a food supplement - sodium glutamate (it refers to vegetable proteins). It is added to improve taste in bouillon cubes, instant soups and second courses, complex seasonings.

Some people prone to food allergies, suffer from a headache. From the sausage. Boiled sausages, sausages, ham, cervix contain nitrite, which gives them a pleasant pinkish color (after all, just boiled meat unattractive greyish shade). Nitrite in sensitive citizens can cause severe, throbbing pain in the temples.

Depression Yes, yes, sometimes a headache can be the only manifestation of a psycho-emotional stall. Then these pains are called psychogenic. They suffer mainly people anxious, hypochondriacal, hypochondriac and easily excitable choleric patients, says psychotherapist Anatoly Herman.

About 70% of patients are women. In 68% of patients with psychogenic pain, the attack begins in the middle or at the end of the working day, in 19% - the pain occurs right in the morning and does not go away from taking analgesics.

As a rule, the "nervous" headaches are aching, blunt, the feeling that they are poured all over the head, arise sometimes in the temple, sometimes in the back of the head, somewhere inside. This increases irritability, fatigue. Patients complain of "general discomfort in the head," which prevents one from getting together with thoughts, concentrating plus feeling of anxiety.

Another variant of psychogenic pain is associated with posttraumatic syndrome (in the people this condition is called "recoil"). They can also arise in a completely healthy person as a result of acute nervous tension, grief, stress, fright.

Favorite work We seldom think about the conditions in which we work. It seems that the cleaning lady also tidies up properly, and the air conditioner works, and by the evening the head is cast-iron. And not only from fatigue, by the way. The reason for this - hypoxia, that is, the lack of oxygen in excess of carbon dioxide.

By the way, the higher your apartment and office is, the less oxygen in the air. It is believed that hypoxic manifestations are constantly observed in those who live and work above the standard sixth floor.

What to do? Saturate air with negative ions. You can buy an ionizer of air, start in the office next to the computer useful plants - ferns or evergreen conifers, for example, juniper or ornamental fir. And also start doing respiratory gymnastics (Wushu, Qigong techniques).

Uncomfortable shoes and handbags It would seem, where the head and where are the feet. But the whole thing in the blood circulation. Because of uncomfortable shoes (too narrow a sock, unstable heel or platform, just not the best quality pad, when the foot takes an awkward position), the outflow of venous blood is broken, says orthopedist-trahmatologist Sergei Goryachev. And, as a consequence, the whole process of blood circulation suffers. As a result, stagnation of blood in the feet and calves of the legs leads to disruption of oxygen supply to the brain tissues, spasms of small vesicles.

Because often, when we run into the day on the heels, in the evening we grab at the head. In this case, the headache will be helped by foot massage and relaxing foot baths.

A stuffed bag with thin handles, hanging on the shoulder, can squeeze blood vessels in the area of ??the clavicles and neck, which causes muscle tension and micro-spasm, which can also lead to headaches.
