PITAMPURA – FACTORS FOR HEADACHES  
& ITS MANAGEMENT
Headaches in this stressful time of a 
pandemic seem to come and go. Especially 
in a country like India where stress levels 
among the workforce are through the roof, 
headaches are treated as mild 
inconveniences that need to be powered 
through. 
What most people miss is that headaches 
can be very sinister and can snowball into 
something very serious. Headaches are the 
most common indicator of major neurological 
diseases and need to be examined when 
they keep occurring frequently. Other times 
they can be side effects of other diseases 
lurking in your body. So it is essential to not 
treat headaches lightly and get them 
checked up with a neurologist. 
There are many trigger factors and risks 
involved with headaches which a patient 
needs to be aware of. Consulting your 
neurologist is recommended, but additional 
knowledge of an ailment comes in handy, 
especially in the case of headaches. So in 
today’s Presentation, we are going to learn 
about the trigger factors of headaches and the 
risks that come with them. There will also be a 
sparse mention of how to counter frequent 
headaches with simple exercises.

Trigger Factors of Headaches
As mentioned in our previous blog of These Habits 
Cause a Migraine, diet is a very big part in triggering 
a person’s frequent headaches, so we will mention 
dietary reasons in a separate section.
The following reasons can be attributed to the 
triggering of a headache:
  Tired of Being Fatigued- Your body needs 
regular rest. If you don’t take many breaks and 
experience regular headaches, then are high 
chances that a break that will allow your mind 
and body to recover will be enough for making 
you feel better. 
   Incorrect Sleeping Schedule- A solid 8 hours of 
sleep is the perfect amount for a working adult. 
Less sleep will most certainly result in frequent 
headaches and a barrage of other illnesses. 
Oversleeping is linked with extended headaches 
too, so ensure you get 8 hours of sleep. Nothing 
more, and nothing else.
  Allergic Reactions to Drugs- Sometimes 
drugs can perform their function inside a 
human body but produce some side effects as 
well. Talk to your doctor about your medication 
if you have started experiencing headaches 
after a course started as you might be suffering 
from an allergic reaction to your prescription 
drugs.
   Sensitivity to Surroundings- Surroundings 
can actually play a big part in frequent 
headaches. Sensitivity to your surroundings 
involving lights and altitude can be playing 
factors in your headaches. It is highly advised 
to seek a neurologist if you trigger headaches 
with a change in your surroundings.
Dietary Trigger Factors of 
Headaches
Diet plays a big part in a person who suffers 
regular headaches. Most of the time a patient 
suffers regular headaches as he/she has a 
compromised diet with an excess of some while 
deficiency of other nutrients, all of which will be 
mentioned below.
  Caffeine- Caffeine has been a trigger factor 
in both headaches and migraines. Caffeine 
which is most commonly found in coffee can be 
consumed in large quantities very easily as it is 
an uncontrolled psychoactive substance. 
Withdrawal from caffeine or too much 
consumption leads to the triggering of 
headaches so it is advised to consume it in 
small quantities.
   Processed Food- processed and packed 
foods have a lot of chemicals in them to 
preserve and increase the shelf life. Excess of 
these chemicals in our body is linked to 
headaches and hence should be avoided 
altogether.
   Acidic Food- Food that contains acid-like yogurt or 
citrus fruits like Oranges and lemon can trigger a 
headache in a person. Citric acid has been known to 
produce headaches and if you experience frequent pains 
you should switch over to foods that have low acid 
content.
   MSG- Monosodium glutamate or popularly known as 
MSG is found in Chinese food and is one of the most 
unhealthy chemicals that a human body can ingest 
through a regular diet. It causes a plethora of diseases 
and headaches are one of them. MSG should be avoided 
at all costs for a person who risks regular headaches.
   Cheesy Food- Cheese has been linked to producing 
severe headaches in patients so replacing cheese in your 
diet with any other form of fat would be advisable. Avoid 
cheesy foods like Pizza and sandwiches, and replace them 
with home-cooked food that contains heavy amounts of 
protein.
