Headaches

Headaches, the disease of the head, make our head painful and damage our brain function. In fact, the brain includes all nervous system, but it doesn`t include the spots of pain. The skin and bones have nervous system, so we can feel the pain. Therefore, the brain is not the cause of headaches. The causes of headaches are the muscles, blood vessels, and nerves that are outside of the brain. When I was a teenager, I always got headaches, and the pain made me feel so bad. Many people don`t know what the headaches are, what the types of the headaches are, and how to treat them. Therefore, the headaches are a normal disease, and the external factors are the big problems in the society.
Headaches have two important types: Tension and Migraine. First, the tension headache is the most common headache, and sometime it is called common headaches or stress tension. This type of headaches could be caused from work, feeling, and environment, so if we are in stressful situation for a long time, then you might feel a little pain from your head. The big cause of the tension headaches is the circumstances, so it makes more stresses in our life. For example, having a baby, getting marriage, losing a job,
making a mistake, or sleeping insufficiency. All of them could make people get a headache, but they are chronic diseases and you can`t find the cause quickly. Second, the migraine headache is another type of headache. Migraine headaches can cause more pain than tension headaches because of the time. Therefore, if someone gets migraines their family might have it too. The pain collects in the half of head or one of eyes. In fact, the migraine headaches happen at adult. In addition, major factors cause migraine headaches, such as the environment, weather change, and moon. According to Sara Crystal MD (2010) after 911, the dust caused people to get headaches and couldn`t solve it at the short time. The dust would generate the bad respiratory system or the pain, environment where we live would be an important factor. Therefore, headaches are caused by many different factors, some are preventable and some are not.
Stress is a normal factor that causes people to get headaches, so we need to find the sources to treat it. A big solution is to relax. Sounds simple? It is really easy to do it. For example, doing more exercise that would make your blood circulation better, finding someone talk to about your mood and extend your feeling. Every headache has his own problems, so if it can`t control, we need to see the doctor who can give us the exact answers. Now the science has a new study. According to Anna S. Cohen, PH.D (2009) suggested a new treatment is to absorb the high flow rates of oxygen, that can reduce the pain of headaches. Therefore, relaxing the mood is a good medicine to treat the headaches.
Headaches become a disease of civilization. Although it isn`t a big disease in our body, it might follow us all the time. If people have headaches, they can`t do anything when it happened. The headaches is a normal disease, but we can`t ignore it.
