Four causes of headache: wind-cold headache

Many people have headaches, especially in winter. Because of the weather and mood, headaches become more frequent. What is the cause of this disease?

1. Hypertension headache. First of all, hypertensive headache, which is a very easy headache symptom in winter, often appears in some hypertensive patients. Hypertension patients in winter, because of the cold weather, blood vessel contraction will intensify. After the vasoconstriction intensifies, blood pressure will rise, which will cause serious headache symptoms. If hypertensive patients also have symptoms of arteriosclerosis, then this headache will be worse in winter.

2. Tension headache. In winter, people are also very prone to symptoms of tension headache. Tension headache, also known as cranial muscle tension and cranial muscle contraction headache, is actually one of the more common headache symptoms in chronic headache. This kind of headache is also affected by the cold in winter, which increases the tension of common cranial muscles and causes headaches.

3. Nose and headache. Among the headaches that are easily caused in winter, there is also a headache symptom called rhinogenic headache. As the name implies, this headache is related to the nose. In winter, some diseases on the nose can cause headaches, such as sinusitis and rhinitis. Patients with sinusitis and rhinitis can also cause headaches in winter.

4. Cold and headache. Headache symptoms in winter are mostly related to some physical diseases, and wind-cold headache is a headache symptom that most people have in winter. Patients with wind-cold headache are mainly due to the onset of wind-cold in winter, which leads to the freezing of meridians, thus causing headache symptoms.

In order to prevent these headache symptoms, after entering winter, people with high headache incidence should pay attention to keep their heads warm to prevent headaches. When you go out in cold weather, you'd better wear a scarf and hat to keep warm. When you walk from outdoor to indoor with heating, open the window to cool down first, so as to avoid the headache caused by high temperature and the body has no time to adapt. In winter outdoor sports, it is best to wear a hooded coat or hat to avoid vasodilation during exercise, but the epidermis is exposed to cold air, which leads to poor vascular regulation; If you sweat during exercise, dry it with a towel as soon as possible to avoid getting cold and causing headaches.

After taking a bath in winter, you should put on warm clothes quickly to avoid headaches caused by excessive temperature difference between inside and outside the bathroom. You can also use air conditioning to raise the temperature of the room or living room, so that after bathing, people's heads will not be exposed to cold air, and it is not easy to have symptoms of head discomfort. Of course, the elderly or hypertensive patients should not get up immediately after taking a shower. They should sit by the bathtub first and soak their feet in the water. After the heartbeat and breathing are stable, get up slowly and wear good clothes to keep warm to prevent dizziness and rapid vasoconstriction.

Women washing their hair in winter actually affects the warmth of their hair on their heads. Because dry hair can keep air in the gaps of hair, it can achieve the insulation effect of isolating the external temperature, while wet hair has no such effect; If you don't blow dry your hair in time after washing your hair, your head and neck will catch cold, causing vasoconstriction and headache.

It must be noted that cold weather is only the inducing factor of headache, and it is an external cause; And people's physical condition is the internal cause of headache. In this sense, any type of headache should go to the hospital, especially when the headache is severe, it is easier to find out the internal cause.

Chinese medicine believes that the head is the meeting of all yang, the house of clearing yang and the place of marrow sea. The essence of the five internal organs and the qi of clearing yang of the six internal organs are all injected into the head. Cold, dampness, phlegm, fire, deficiency and other factors can make qi and blood run smoothly, stagnate, and it hurts if it doesn't run. On this basis, Buchang Group made painstaking research and developed Buchang Toutongning Capsule. It is a Chinese patent medicine composed of Gastrodia elata, Smilax glabra, Radix Polygoni Multiflori Preparata, Radix Saposhnikoviae, Radix Angelicae Sinensis and Scorpio. Gastrodia elata contains a variety of amino acids and trace elements that enhance the function of brain cells and nourish brain components, and has a strong nutritional and protective effect on the liver. In addition, gastrodia elata combined with other traditional Chinese medicines for promoting blood circulation can significantly inhibit the activity of 5-HT in blood and maintain the content of γ -aminobutyric acid (GABA), thus counteracting the excitability of central neurons, relieving cerebral vasospasm, increasing blood supply and oxygen supply to the brain, improving cerebral microcirculation, obviously regulating pain-causing factors, significantly improving the function of brain cells, and integrating expelling wind and dredging collaterals, eliminating phlegm and removing dampness, enriching blood and promoting blood circulation, dredging collaterals and relieving pain.
