How You Can Ease Headaches Yourself

Most headaches go away on their own and typically aren’t a sign of a serious condition.

Common Causes of Headaches

Headaches can be caused by various factors, including:

  • Colds or flu
  • Stress
  • Excessive alcohol intake
  • Poor posture
  • Vision issues
  • Irregular eating habits
  • Dehydration
  • Overuse of painkillers
  • Hormonal changes, such as during menstruation or menopause

Keeping a headache diary can help identify your specific triggers.

Self-Care for Headaches

Headaches can last anywhere from 30 minutes to several days.

Here are some tips for relief:

  • Drink plenty of water.
  • Get sufficient rest, especially if you’re feeling unwell.
  • Try to relax, as stress can worsen headaches.
  • Take paracetamol or ibuprofen as needed.
  • Stay home and avoid close contact with others if you have a high fever or aren’t feeling well enough to do your usual activities.
  • Avoid alcohol.
  • Don’t skip meals, even if you’re not hungry.
  • Try not to oversleep, as this can make headaches worse.
  • Limit eye strain from screens or activities that require prolonged focus.
