Headaches have become a very common but annoying problem these days. Sometimes the head feels heavy, sometimes there is a stabbing pain, and sometimes there is a pricking sensation behind the eyes. Such headaches affect mood and work throughout the day. Many immediately resort to painkillers; But after some time the headache rears its head again. AIIMS-trained neurologist Dr. According to Priyanka Sehrawat, frequent headaches are not just a disease but can be an indication of mistakes in our lifestyle.

Dr. Priyanka says that 80 to 90 percent of headache cases do not have any serious illness. One of the biggest causes of headaches is not having breakfast in the morning. Many people skip breakfast to lose weight or in a hurry. This lowers the sugar level in the body and has a direct effect on the brain. As a result, headaches begin. Also, eating late lunch or skipping dinner can lead to headaches.

Sleeping late everyday and not getting enough sleep is also a major cause of headaches. If the body and brain do not get the rest they need, the head feels heavy and painful when they wake up in the morning. The habit of watching mobile, laptop or TV before going to bed worsens the quality of sleep. Today’s sedentary lifestyle means many people sit in one place for hours on end. Due to lack of walking and exercise, stress accumulates in the body. This stress comes out in the form of headache. Along with this, the habit of drinking less water i.e. dehydration also increases headache. Oftentimes, even just a lack of water can cause severe headaches.

Constant work stress, overthinking, office anxiety, family responsibilities all invite headaches. If the brain is constantly under stress, its side effects are felt in the form of pain. Dr. According to Priyanka, drugs provide temporary relief; But the permanent solution comes only through lifestyle changes. Eating breakfast and lunch on time, sleeping for 7-8 hours daily, avoiding late night use of mobile phones, light exercise, regular walking and drinking plenty of water can help relieve headaches to a great extent. Headache is not a sudden serious problem, most of the time it is a result of our daily wrong habits. With timely lifestyle changes, headaches can be controlled without medication.
