Headaches at work

The problem at large
By and large headaches can be truly annoying. While migraines are the more popular variety, headaches caused by excessive sinusitis or colds can be equally disruptive. A constant banging in the head can be the most irritating highlight of the day, causing you more misery than any illness. Most productivity in offices and amongst students can also be one of the causes of their low grades.

Co-ordination becomes difficult and so does getting a good night’s sleep. This can also happen if your body is greatly accustomed to heavy dosages of caffeine, especially for coffee lovers. Most people take it for granted and assume that drinking coffee is the only solution for great concentration and for getting in that extra spark that they so require. Long lasting headaches can mar the fabric of life, especially if you have kids that need constant attention.

Ad to that some horrible days at the office and you can go off into a spell that’s worse even with your spouse. Most men understand headaches like a quack would understand pain. You’ve got a headache, so pop in a pill and get going. There are very few people in the world who can actually take a headache seriously until its really got serious. It interrupts with your life as a whole. A mere painful sign of spoiling your life, both career wise and relationships.

Most women complain of a headache when they don’t want to indulge in sexual intercourse. And most men take it that women are largely the uninterested kind so a headache need not be taken very seriously. In fact I have known several guys who have the gall to research and find out that the best cure for a headache is ..you guessed it right, a round of great sex.

You could with a pain killer, but that’s hardly getting to the root of your problem. The worst headaches of this kind are the one caused by sinusitis. Excessive phlegm sitting peacefully all throughout your head keeps on paying a hammering sound all throughout the time when you least want it. An easy way out, a method my mom uses often is to simply induce sneezing by allowing your nasal regions to get tickled and …whoosh you’re already feeling better!

Causes of a headache
Sometimes, lack of sleep patterns and also late nights can cause headaches and simultaneously a heavy head. People who are constantly working in a cyclic manner of attending night shifts can fall prey to this problem. Also those working for call centers face this problem to the maximum. Under rest and disturbance in your bodily functions may cause you to suddenly distribute sleep rather unevenly causing a huge block of aches and pains to make you dance to their tune. Stress adds more fuel to the fire.

Break ups and excessive crying due to the loss or death of a dear one, could also be one of the many reasons for a headache. The best option to get these away fro you, according to yoga is Pranayam and something called Kapaalbhati. In literal terms Kapaal in Sanskrit means forehead and bhaati means shine. The both put together form a systematic series of breathing exercises when done earliest in the morning can help you get relieved of any symptom that causes headaches.

This type of breathing exercise can be performed in the morning and can be most beneficial in areas of high pollution. Since this is a process of natural healing, you need to get back at doing this time and again for maximum effect.

Performing this exercise, you need to be cautious of the fact that these exercise must be first performed under strict observation and requires supervision in the first go. These are simple breathes taken inhaled and quickly exhaled at short notices with multiple repetitions. You could do it for a maximum of 5-7 minutes everyday in the morning.

These need to be done in the morning as your body is at its freshest condition after a good night’s sleep. It has been observed that continuing these exercises can help you reduce the extent of your head aches and at several occasions even help you in completely getting rid of their occurrence. Thus making your forehead shine and give you that magnificent glow! Definitely worth trying!
