What to do if pregnant women have a headache

Pregnant women are in a special physiological stage and are under great pressure both physically and mentally. In this situation, it is very common to experience symptoms such as getting angry, feeling depressed and irritable. However, due to the special nature of their bodies, pregnant women who have problems such as getting angry and having headaches cannot take medicine at will, so as not to affect the health of the baby. So, what should pregnant women do if they get a headache due to getting angry? What follows are some solutions to this problem.

1 Relax yourself: As soon as you have signs of a headache, quickly open the window or go to the balcony to take a few deep breaths of fresh air, then exhale slowly for at least ten minutes, trying to replenish every cell in your body with enough oxygen. You can also sit in meditation to relax yourself.

2 Hot compress: Alternate between using the hot water bag for 30 seconds each, and apply to the back of the neck, forehead, and eyes until you feel comfortable.

3 Don’t starve: Low blood sugar can cause hunger headaches. Some headaches may be caused by low blood sugar. Drinking a bowl of hot soup is the most effective! However, your sense of taste is more sensitive when you have a headache, so foods that are too strong in flavor may have the opposite effect.

Avoid sound and light stimulation: When you have a headache, all the sounds you hear become noise, all the lights seem dazzling, and all the smells are very unpleasant. At this time, it is best to find a quiet, dark room to sit quietly, or even lie down, close your eyes and rest for fifteen minutes (don’t forget to continue taking deep breaths).

4. Prevent food allergies: Coffee, chocolate, and onions may all be the culprits of headaches.

5. Massage can relieve headaches and improve sleep.
