Past Tense: Put Tension Headaches Behind You
Tension headaches strike almost eight out of 10 people at some point in their lives. They can last from 30 minutes to one week, and some people experience them every day.
What creates a cycle of daily tension headaches? There are many culprits, but one possible trigger is overuse of over-the-counter or prescription pain relievers. Here are some better ways to break the cycle:
- Avoid triggers, which may include chocolate, caffeine, alcohol, smoke, and strong smells.
- Let a healthy lifestyle help you combat stress, which is to blame for the vast majority of tension headaches. Get enough sleep, don’t skip meals, and make time for exercise and other activities you enjoy.
