Headache Prevention & Migraine Treatment - 101 Tips

Stop Headaches & Migraines With Simple, Yet Effective Pain Management Strategies Without Resorting To Drugs!

Headache Prevention

Now whatever is the cause or whatever be the nature of the headache, most headaches are preventable. There is no need to endure the pain when you really have an option. Follow the tips given below and you will be amazed to find that the prevention is actually in your hands.

Headache Prevention Tip #1.

Do not read when you are lying down. The lying down posture is clearly not the best position to read. It is a very common thing for a person to flop down on the bed with a book and read it while lying down. In fact, many people make it a habit to read for a few minutes before going to sleep. Let us say it once and for all; it is not good to read while you are lying down.

Headache Prevention Tip #2.

If you must read, prop up your head with at least two pillows. If you find it impossible to read while you are in bed, the best thing that you can do is prop up your head with a couple of pillows. Pillows give support to your head and neck so that your head is in a partially raised position. This will cause less harm to your eyes and your head in general.

Headache Prevention Tip #3.

You need a well lit room to read. The lighting of your room too is very important. A properly lighted room is what is required if you want to read, do needlework or any other such fine activity. Again too much light is just as bad as a dimly lit room.

Headache Prevention Tip #4.

The source of light must preferably be behind your head. The source of light should not come in front of your eyes but must be behind your head. This is also true in the case of a computer as well. The source of light should be from behind.

Headache Prevention Tip #5.

Do not hold the book too close to your eyes. This is some thing that happens when you lei down to read. The book tends to move closer to your eyes than intended. This is something that is bad for your eyes. Your eye muscles have to strain a lot in order to focus on nearer objects. The book should ideally be at the level of your chest.

Migraines - Major Risk Factors

Arthritis: Wrong posture can lead to arthritis in the neck muscles. This upsets the regular supply of blood and oxygen to the brain causing migraines.
