Headaches, allergies and sensitivities

To avoid headaches, breathe plenty of fresh air.

Avoid stuffy rooms. Stuffy rooms mean that obviously there is not enough air in the room. If the room smells musty too it is a good idea to get out f the room or open all the windows and doors and let the fresh air come in.

It is also not good for you to sleep in a room that does not have proper ventilation. Even if the A/C is turned on, try to also turn on the fan to circulate the air.

Find out if you have any allergies or sensitivities. Both allergies and sensitivities can cause headaches.. 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.



Heady fragrances of some perfumes and room fresheners can give you a headache. This need not be something that you have used on your own body. It can be a perfume that your neighbor has used. So if you sit next to person and feel that your head it getting woozy, try to move to a safe distance.

Avoid inhaling polluting gases like automobile fumes and second-hand smoking. Many of the gases let out by automobiles and other exhaust pipes are highly toxic and they itself can cause a headache.

Second hand smoking by which you inhale the smoke from your neighbor's cigarette too can cause a headache. This is especially true if you are a non-smoker and not used to the smell smoke.

Incense smoke is not good for you either. Incense smoke contains a lot of alkaloids and the inhalation of these can spark of a lot of changes in the internal mechanism, do not take the risk.

Remove hair gel before you go to bed. Hair gel may be give you that great look but take care to remove it from your hair before you go to bed. Not only is it bad for your hair to have it on for to long, but it is all chemicals and it is bad for you to sleep all night inhaling these chemicals and the mild perfume that most hair gels have.

Hair gel also has the effect of sealing off all the pores on your scalp. So in the night, the skin on the scalp of your head cannot breathe and this is bad for your head.

Aerosols are bad for you. If you are prone to sinus infection aerosols are bad for you so try not to use them as far as possible.

If you have an allergic condition like a dust allergy, stay away from dust as it can trigger of the sinus infection. Make sure you change your air filters regularly, and consider buying special filters for people with dust allergies.

If you find it impossible to stay away from dust at least wear a face mask.
