Stress or cramp pain?

It’s important to note that the brain and head, in the classic sense, can’t hurt. Headaches are always caused by the contraction of muscles in the body. We distinguish three types: migraine, tension, and cluster headaches . In addition , recent nervous system research and studies have linked emerging head and migraine pain to a lack of magnesium, vitamin B-12 , poor eating habits, and a sedentary life .

It is well known that vitamin B-12 affects the nervous system and muscle function. B-12, the nervous system, has a calming effect and also has a beneficial effect on the muscles. It plays an important role in the metabolism of protein, fat and carbohydrates. Its deficiency is manifested by a rapid heartbeat, muscle cramps, depression, and fatigue. The body is unable to produce, so more care must be taken with intake.

Stress-induced headache

Another type of headache may be caused by constant tension. Fatigue, stress, inappropriate glasses, and mental or spiritual strain, increased excitement can all trigger it. In this case, we feel the pain as a headache due to the contraction of the muscles of the scalp.

Symptoms include pain in the back of the neck or forehead, possibly on the top of the head. Complaints rarely last more than an hour or two. Sleep is not disturbed.

What can the doctor do?

There is a marked difference between a headache caused by stress and a headache caused by a disease of the nervous system: if the headache attacks are frequent and severe, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, the person is disturbed or sleepy, his behavior changes or visually disturbed.

The diagnosis is usually clear based on the medical history and physical examination of the patient. If necessary, you can rule out possible central nervous system disease by computed tomography (CT), nuclear magnetic resonance (MR) examination, and fundus mirroring. It is usually treated with medication and lifestyle changes, and glasses are prescribed if necessary (say, for headaches caused by vision loss).

What can we do?

Stress is difficult to eliminate from our daily lives, but with the right way to manage it, we can minimize its impact on the body. Let’s change our lifestyle, move more, think less, or at least work together to keep our thoughts in check.
