Just as there are many different types of headaches, there are many ways to relieve and prevent them. If your headache persists, you may need a headache pain reliever like NOTTS Extra Strength.
As always, if you believe you have migraines or cluster headaches, or if you have questions or concerns, consult a doctor.
Quick Relief
Take a bath or a hot shower to relax and soothe muscle pain.
This is especially helpful for tension headaches and sinus headaches.
Go for a walk.
Fresh air and increased blood flow can significantly help alleviate headaches, especially if they don’t stem from common headache triggers like strong smells and bothersome lights.
Headache Prevention
One of the most common causes of headaches is stress.
To help prevent stress-induced headaches, try this simple therapeutic breathing exercise:
- Sit or lie down comfortably and place your hand on your stomach, just below the ribs.
- Breathe slowly through your nose and focus on how your stomach expands and contracts as your lungs fill.
- Exhale slowly through your mouth, letting your stomach empty and descend.
- Repeat 10 to 20 times as needed.
