Headaches and Migraines
Why do I get headaches all the time ?
The hormonal changes that occur during
pregnancy are the main cause of headaches. Pregnancy is known to trigger sinus, fatigue,
tensions, hunger or headaches due to physical and emotional stress. Though you are not
allowed to take any pain relievers, you could try some basic home remedies.
How can I take care of my headaches
Firstly try to relax. Do yoga or meditate.
Make sure that you are getting adequate rest. If your head aches due to low blood sugar,
make sure that you are eating well. Carry some high-energy snacks with you at all times.
Seek some peace and quiet and get some fresh air. For a tension headache, try an ice pack
at the back of your neck for 20 minutes. Keep your eyes closed. If it is due to a sinus
problem, apply hot and cold compresses alternatively for 30 seconds each for 10 minutes 4
times a day. If your headache still persists, and is accompanied by dizziness or blurred
vision, consult your doctor immediately
