Tension Headaches & How To Deal With Them

Tension and stress are common triggers of headaches.  If you get stressed out at work and can feel a tension headache coming around due to on-coming deadlines, you need to avoid the trap of filling your plate with too many tasks to complete.  It is never a bad thing to ask for help.  You can also discuss the workload with your supervisor, and I am sure he/she will be more than happy to accommodate your needs.

A great way to reduce stress and tension in your life is to not let the small, incidental things in your life get to you.  Falling into that trap is just not worth it.  I have noticed that some individuals in high stress situations at times cannot handle the trivial things that pop up and start barking at others and get upset easily.  Then they say, “I have headache!”  I sometimes wonder if the best medicine during such situations is to take one step back, take a few deep breaths, and think about how stupid it is to get upset over a nothing burger.

Today’s article is from the site, MedlinePlus, courtesy of the U.S. National Library of Medicine.  It will discuss how to manage tension headaches at home.  I hope you will get some value out of it today.
