Recognize Tension Headache Symptoms
When you first started having tension headache symptoms you could take a few aspirin and that would do the trick
. But now, those tension headaches occur every day and even prescription medication doesn't offer enough relief!
Do you go through the painfully endless cycle of medication => temporary relief => more medication? Well, you are not alone. Millions of people each day suffer from chronic tension headaches and are doing the same thing.
So you're probably wondering "what can be done if even prescription medication won't relieve these tension headaches?"
My friend, most people end up treating the symptoms and not the cause of a tension headache! Stay with me as we explore the underlying cause of tension headaches and reveal some of the physical and emotional symptoms they impart on the body.
What Causes Tension Headache Symptoms?
In short, tension headaches come from muscle tension in your neck, shoulders and upper back. Most of this tension is a result of poor posture, stress and bad habits but can also be a result from injury, like a car accident.
When this tension overloads our muscles it causes muscles to tighten and eventually spasm, thus restricting normal oxygen and blood flow to muscles and the back of the head.
The end result is a painful headache that can be relieved by medication but usually returns the next day. Why? Because most people only treat the symptoms not the cause!
Do You Experience These Physical and Emotional Tension Headache Symptoms?
- Neck and shoulder soreness
- A persistent pounding in the back of your head
- Twitching eyes during really severe headaches
- A continual soreness between your shoulder blades
- Aching jaw and pain in your back teeth
- Pain in your ears
- Decreased movement in your neck
- Chronic fatigue
- Short-tempered
- Constant grouchiness
- Low self-esteem and self-loathing
- Difficulty concentrating due to chronic pain
- Decreased motivation at work and home
If you said "yes" to more than 2 or 3 of these tension headache symptoms and have tension headaches several times per week, then the underlying cause may possibly be your posture.
When you slouch, slump your shoulders and jut your head forward for long periods of time it will cause stress on the postural muscles and overload them. Over time this tension causes the muscles spasms I described earlier. If this poor posture occurs day after day without correction the stress on the muscles accumulates and eventually manifests into tension headaches.
Don't let these tension headache symptoms become a major problem for you. Listen to your body and learn how to correct faulty posture before these symptoms get out of hand.
