What causes migraine during confinement?

First, there are many causes of headaches, such as colds, fever, problems with the five senses, abnormal blood pressure, head disorders, anemia, constipation, gas poisoning, alcohol poisoning, nervous fatigue, etc. Headaches may be caused by irritation of the meninges, which causes blood vessels to constrict and increase tension. It may also be a signal from the brain reminding us that there is insufficient oxygen and that more oxygen is needed. As long as blood containing a lot of oxygen flows to the painful area, the headache will disappear immediately. However, we must find out what causes the headache before we can solve the problem.

Second, physical factors: various causes that can cause inflammation and injury inside and outside the skull; traction, stretching, displacement, and expansion of blood vessels due to compression by tumors; irritation of the meninges; muscle contraction; direct stimulation of the sensory nerves that control the head and face, etc., can all cause headaches.

Mothers should not have too much mental burden on this matter, and should not give themselves too much trouble. Just do a good job of confinement. During the confinement period, mothers like to eat some nourishing foods, such as those rich in vitamins and proteins to replenish energy.
