Many people can reduce their headaches with simple changes
in their lifestyle.
Stress is a major consideration. People who are basically
unhappy in their jobs or their personal life may experience
more headaches than they might otherwise have. Many people
reduce their headache frequency by adopting stress lowering
activities, such as regular exercise or relaxation techniques.
Sometimes counseling can help people adapt to daily stressors
which they cannot otherwise control.
Eating at regular times and sleeping and awakening at the
same time each day can make a significant difference in some
people.
If you’re taking medication to prevent headaches, be
sure you do not skip doses and be sure you use the medication
exactly as prescribed by your healthcare professional.
