The Intimidating Relationship Between Stress And Headache |

Stress and headaches are closely interlinked. The dividing line is so thin
that it is difficult to understand whether stress is the cause of the
headache or the headache is the cause of stress.
Though there are several over the counter
medications, instant relief giving pills for headache, most of them are
temporary relief. Nobody knows the real cause of headache, for the
simple reason that there are more than one cause and type of headaches.
As for stress, the root cause of the stress is also the root cause of
headache. If the conditions of stress are removed, the related headache
also vanishes.
The reasons for stress could be
many, but generally one strong factor overrides all others. But the
empowering reasons for headaches are many. The headache could be due to
a simple reason or some serious reason. They could be hunger, serious
study during the examination, working without intermission far into the
night, anxiety over certain issues deeply concerning you, the
atmospheric conditions, changing of seasons, abrupt change in the
climate and drinking impure water to name a few.
Most of the
minor headaches disappear without medication. Due to the peculiar nature
of the headache, it is very difficult to locate the reasons for headache
in children. Like the elders the children too are stressed for their own
reasons.
Stress and headaches are closely interlinked. The
dividing line is so thin that it is difficult to understand whether
stress is the cause of the headache or the headache is the cause of
stress. If stress is the cause of headache, it is futile to take
treatment for headache. Even if taken, the results won't be permanent.
The causes of stress will have to be removed first.
Headache can
also be due to multiple causes-- physical conditions coupled with
psychological conditions. To know the root cause of the headache whether
it is stress-related or due to any other causes is very
important.
The reasons for stress
related headaches could be working in a not properly ventilated room,
walking or standing in the hot sun for long hours, eye strain due to
lots of reading, too much watching of television from the close range
and things alike.
The modern materialistic
civilization throws many more causes for stress related headaches.
Traveling in overcrowded railway compartments, waiting for long hours at
the air-port due to delayed flights could also be the reason for the
headache.
“It is better to have a world united than a world
divided. But it is better to have a world divided, than a world
destroyed,” said Mr. Winston Churchill at the time of The Second World
War. The relation between headache and stress is somewhat like that!
