Headaches
Throbbing pain? Time for relief.
Headaches are a common condition that can range from mild discomfort to severe pain, significantly impacting daily activities. They can manifest as tension headaches, characterized by a dull, aching sensation around the forehead or back of the head and neck, migraines that present with pulsating pain on one side of the head, or cluster headaches, known for intense burning or piercing pain behind or around one eye. Triggers vary widely, including stress, dehydration, poor posture, and environmental factors. Effective treatment often involves over-the-counter or prescription medications, lifestyle changes, and stress management techniques.
Access Telehealth offers an accessible way to consult with healthcare providers about your headaches. Through virtual appointments, you can discuss your symptoms, identify potential triggers, and receive personalized treatment options to manage and reduce the frequency and severity of headaches, all from the comfort and privacy of your home.
Precautions
- Apply a cold pack to your forehead or the back of your neck. The cold can reduce inflammation and numb the pain. A bag of frozen peas, a cold gel pack, or even a cold shower might offer relief.
- Practice relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, meditation, or progressive muscle relaxation, to reduce stress, which is a common trigger for headaches.
- Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Dehydration can trigger headaches or make them worse.
Common Medications
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or Naproxen (Aleve)
- Triptans such as Sumatriptan (Imitrex), Rizatriptan (Maxalt), or Zolmitriptan (Zomig),
- Beta-blockers such as Propranolol (Inderal)
