Patient's question:
Often, when I go to bed in the morning, the pain on the left side of my head reappears again. Occasionally, while doing household chores at home, my left side of the head also hurts very much. Hello, what is the cause of this left-sided posterior headache?Doctor's answer:
In general, there are many reasons that can cause headache symptoms, such as common tension headaches, migraines, intracranial inflammation, high blood pressure, and so on. It is recommended to improve the cranial CT examination to identify secondary headaches and consider whether they are caused by high blood pressure. If the headache is caused by high blood pressure, it is essential to actively lower blood pressure and seek treatment. Migraines or tension headaches can be relieved after rest. For people who frequently experience headaches, they can eat more calcium-rich foods such as eggs, milk, etc., and also consume more magnesium-rich foods, such as almonds, nuts, etc. It is advisable to reduce the intake of foods that may trigger headaches, such as cheese, chocolate, MSG, preserved foods, or greasy foods.
