🟥 What is Cervicogenic headaches?

Cervicogenic headaches are secondary headaches that arise from another problem. They can also be caused by migraines and tension headaches. However, they are caused by problems in the neck and spine. They are different from other headaches.

🟥 Cervicogenic Headache Symptoms

Cervicogenic headaches are unilateral or one-sided. They occur on one side of the head and radiate from the neck to the head.
This pain is worse when the neck is moved. It is seen that this pain becomes more intense due to moving the neck.

Due to neck pain, the neck swells and becomes very stiff.
Due to this pain, it becomes difficult to turn the neck completely. It cannot be done from one side to the other as desired

🟥 Causes of Cervicogenic Headache

Usually, this pain is felt even if there is an injury to the neck. If this injury occurs in the cervical vertebrae, it causes damage. Then it feels a lot of pain in the head.

If you sit for a long time, the neck muscles put pressure on the cervical spine, which causes headaches.

Herniated or degenerated discs in the cervical spine can easily compress the nerves and cause headaches.

🟥 Cervicogenic Headache Treatment

Over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen and muscle relaxants should be taken after consulting a doctor.

There are some therapies that relieve pain. Therapy is very effective for headaches. It should be used after consulting a doctor.

There are some injections that reduce pain, but they are very complex, so they are given by a doctor.

Some exercises for cervicogenic headaches keep the muscles around the neck fresh.

Proper sleep is necessary to reduce cervicogenic headaches. If you put a supportive pillow under your back while sleeping, it keeps the neck and spine aligned.

Sharing a personal experience of tension headaches

I am facing this pain almost all the time. Every person suffers from tension. Tension is such a thing that if we do not want it, then it is a part of our life from behind.

Due to this tension, my high blood pressure increases, and then I have a headache and neck pain. When I go to the doctor for this problem, he sees my blood pressure high and tells me to take medicine every day. I have been taking this medicine for almost 1 year. By taking medicine, I get some relief from pain and headaches. But still, I feel this pain and neck pain often. Then I can easily understand that my blood pressure has increased. Maybe due to taking medicine, I feel less pain. If I hadn't taken medicine I would have felt more.

I would like to invite my friends @kalidsyfulla @shamiaritu96 and @farjana123 to take part in the contest.

Best Regards, @sojib1996
