Foods to alleviate Headaches after Cancer Treatment
Not all headaches are the same:
© Reader’s DigestIf you are concerned about your headaches, discuss the following with your doctor or another member of your health care team:
– Moment: When do your headaches occur? Do you suffer in the morning
or later in the day?
– Frequency: How often do they occur? And how long do they last?
– Triggers: Are there any factors that trigger your headaches?
– Pain: What kind of pain do you feel? What is the severity of the pain?
– Location: Where is the pain located (eg, above the eyes or in the forehead)?
Headaches can be accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, blurred vision, light sensitivity and pain that increase with activity. If you experience any of these symptoms, be sure to tell your healthcare provider.
Medications can be used to treat headaches or reduce pain. To find the best way to treat your headaches, your doctor will take you through a physical examination and determine the type of headaches you are suffering as well as the cause based on your symptoms and your medical history.
To help reduce the number and severity of the headaches you suffer, make sure you get enough sleep, eat well and reduce your stress levels.
