Preventing Sinus Headaches 1

Find out if you have any allergies. Allergies can cause headaches. Some of
us are allergic to specific substances and these substances can trigger off a
headache. It may be certain odors or it might be a certain flavors. Each time
you get a headache just try and find out what triggered it.
A gentle shake of your head can tell you if you do have a sinus infection. If
you move your head even slightly, the pain will increase and this is a good
method of deciding whether the headache is actually due to a sinus infection.
If you have a sinus infection, do not shake your head, as the pain will
increase.
Another method is to try bending over. The moment you lower your head
you will feel as if there is something heavy inside your head. If doing so
leads you to discover you have a sinus infection, refrain from bending over
until the infection clears.
Crying is not good for a headache. If you are prone to sinus headaches,
crying is not good for you. When such a person cries for even a minute or
two there is very good chance that the tears will lead to a headache.
If you feel you might start crying, try breathing deeply, or try to lie down
and fall asleep. Some situations are unavoidable, but some, like sad movies,
are easy to avoid.
Know your sinus points and use the acupressure method to treat your self
and rid yourself of the pain.
The best thing about the acupressure method is that it has no side effects. It
is something that you can do completely on your own and if you are doing it
properly, you can get almost instant relief. I have described the steps in
detail in the points that follow, try doing it and I promise you, you will be
glad that you did it.
