The Headache, A Stress Symptom.
It’s a rare person who has never had a stress headache. Most
people will experience a headache as a stress symptom by the
time they hit adolescence or young adulthood.
Stress headaches or tension headaches typically begin slowly as a
dull, achy pain on both sides of your head. People who are 20 to
50-years-old are at highest risk for developing the symptom of a
stress headache.
People are more apt to have a stress headache
in today’s fast-paced society, especially if they feel under
mental or emotional stress. You are more likely to have a stress
headache symptom, research indicates, if you suppress your anger.
In order to prevent stress headaches, get plenty of rest, exercise
several times a week and avoid junk food. Drink plenty of water,
take frequent breaks and take time to be alone to prevent a stress
headache from building.
If you have a stress headache symptom, you may feel a tightening
in your neck muscles. A stress headache, which can range from mild
to severe, is a common type of headache. A stress headache is not
a migraine headache, but sometimes it can hurt worse.
Luckily, there are some things you can do to
prevent a stress headache symptom, making is less likely you will
need to resort to stress headache medication.
Make the necessary positive lifestyle changes, such as exercising,
eating right and stopping bad habits such as smoking and getting
high-strung or uptight about little things.
Studies have shown smokers tend to have more severe headaches
symptoms than non-smokers. A stress headache symptom is often
associated with fatigue, sleep deprivation and irritability.
If you have a stress headache with the symptom of pain, aching,
dullness, heaviness, throbbing in the head, put a heat pack or an
ice pack on your head or neck. Another way to ease a stress
headache is by taking a hot bath or shower.
If you are not sure what you are experiencing is indeed a stress
headache, consider whether pressure or movement worsens the pain.
Also, people with a stress headache symptom often say they feel a
tightening but non-pulsating feeling on both sides of the head.
The stress headache symptom is generally not aggravated by daily
physical activity and does not cause vomiting or nausea. A person
with a stress headache symptom may be sensitive to either light or
sound.
More than 10 million people see their physician every year because
they can’t cope with the pain associated with a stress headache.
If you go to an emergency room complaining of a stress headache,
the physicians on staff will be able to give you an examination
and accurately diagnose and treat your stress headache.
Your physician will ask you to describe the kind of pain you are
experiencing with the stress headache symptom. He or she probably
will not need to take blood tests, x-rays or brain scans unless
there is reason to believe your problem is more complex than a
simple stress headache.
If you only have a stress headache symptom on occasion, you may
wish to try a pain reliever without a prescription. However, even
over-the-counter medications have potential side effects such as
ulcers or stomach bleeding. Some of the stress headache pain
relievers on the market includes the use of oral medications, such
as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (Motrin, Advil, Naproxen,
Aleve), acetaminophen (Tylenol) and salicylate analgesics (Dolobid,
Bayer).
If you experience headache symptoms due to
stress, we recommend using
Extress to
supplement a healthy diet.

supplement that is exceptionally effective in providing the body
with the nutritional requirements which aid the body during
periods of stress, tension, anxiety, minor phobic reactions and
complaints of generalized patterns of anxious discomfort.
However, if you are someone who has a stress headache symptom
nearly every day, you may wish to ask your doctor about
prescription medication. Your physician will probably tell you
it’s best to take medication for a stress headache before the
symptom becomes unbearable.
The prescription medication your doctor gives you may be stress
headache medication intended to be taken only when you feel pain
symptom coming on or it may be medication intended for daily use
even if you don’t have a headache.
