Type of Headache

If you have a sinus problem, blow your nose often.This can be a type of headache. Blowing your nose helps to get rid of the mucus that accumulates in the sinuses. It is better if you can blow your nose after a steam inhalation.  It is also a good idea to water rinse your nose. This is a very effective way of clearing your sinuses and saving your self from a bout of dust allergy as well. All you have to do is cup your hand and hold a little bit of water in it. Dip you nose in and inhale the water very gently. The water must only ascend the passage of your nose and must not go any further. You can control the ascent of the water by controlling your breath. After these breathe out and let the water out. Repeat this a couple of times. You might snort the first two or three times but after that you will soon get the hang of it.  If you have an allergic condition like a dust allergy, stay away from dust as it can trigger of the sinus infection. Make sure you change your air filters regularly, and consider buying special filters for people with dust allergies. If you find it impossible to stay away from dust at least wear a gas mask. 

Fermented and pickled food can be bad for you, especially if you suffer from frequent headaches.  

Contraceptive pills can also trigger different types of headaches because these pills actually interfere with the hormonal functioning in the body. (Then again, last time we checked, screaming babies trigger headaches as well.)  

Maintain a headache diary. I know that the idea might sound strange but I really mean it. Also, wright down what type of headache. This is something that every one who suffers from headaches should do.The person should closely monitor himself or herself. The factors that person should take into account are food and beverage intake, weather conditions, stress and menstrual cycles. Try to identify the causes that lead to the headache or in other words the causes that trigger off the headache. Find out how often and how frequent the aches are and whether they are related to any external condition like the weather perhaps or travel. It is really not very difficult to do this.  This exercise will help the person find out if there are definite causes and what type of headache at what time this type of headache happened.
