I suffer from frequent headaches.
Sometimes I deal with a mild tightening sensation at the back of our noggin in addition to other times, the pain progresses into a full-blown migraine.
When the symptoms are at their worst, I’m forced to crawl back in bed. I take an Excedrin, wrap our head in a heating pad and make the room totally dark. I have already thrown up or fainted because of these headaches. I can usually trace the reason for them. They can be stress related, due to lack of adequate sleep or caused by dehydration. I’ve learned that I need to take better care of myself. I’ve also figured out that it’s best to be proactive. At the first feeling of a headache coming on, I right away take pain medication. I then fill up a water bottle and workout. A wonderful sweat helps to cut down and often get rid of the symptoms. I focus on high-intensity aerobics. I make sure to get breathless and work our lungs. I elevate our heart rate and push myself until I’m drenched in sweat. Jumping rope, wind sprints, burpees, lunge jumps, squat jumps in addition to mountain climbers are wonderful ways to combat a headache… For mild headaches, the combination of exercise in addition to hydration are the key to prevention in addition to recovery. However, there are times when the workout actually worsens the symptoms. Sometimes, jumping around is just really terrible. I then switch to low impact chances such as static holds. I devote our time to deep stretches in addition to breathing techniques. I’ve found that yoga can be especially beneficial.
