What Gave You A Headache?

A co-worker at GE Healthcare looked in pain a couple of days ago. He remarked that he had a headache. I asked him, what gave you a headache? His answer....I don't know.

Many times, when we have a headache we are so miserable we can only think of one thing. Relief! But the solution to our pain is found in the cause of our pain.

Here are 7 of the many instigators of the headache with suggestions to possible solutions. Why only suggestions.....because I am not a doctor and I don't want the responsibility of your failure to handle your aching head.

7 Instigators of the Headache

• Your overweight - Carrying a bit to much weight can cause poor self-esteem. Take off excess weight by light walking.
• Your personality - Easily stressed out. Learn to laugh and see more of the positive things of life and enjoy them.
• Dehydration - Yes, lack of water which helps regulate our body temperature. Increase your liquid intake. Also by eating fruits and vegetables we add more nutrients.
• You Could Be Hungry - Take a snack break or it may be time to eat a good wholesome meal.
• Caffeine - You could be suffering from caffeine overdrive. Slowly cut back on your caffeine intake. Personally I would and do leave the stuff alone. Look out for Coke and Pepsi also!
