ASK THE DOCTOR
Q:
I get frequent, pounding headaches. What can I
do to prevent them or relieve them when I have one?
A:
Something in your life is creating an adverse
environment that causes a headache. For instance, most people are familiar
with the occasional headache that comes from a cold, staying up too late, or
drinking too much. Other common culprits include sinus problems, muscle
tension, eyestrain, stress, jaw clenching, a virus, allergies, poor eating
habits, and a muscle injury in the neck and back. Some women may experience
headaches due to a hormonal imbalance.
