Tips on preventing stress induced headaches

Try to keep your mind free from worries. Listening to music or taking a nap is a good way to clear the mind.

If you feel stressed up, try to relax. Scented candles, warm bathes, and soothing music may help you relax.

Try to keep from getting too frustrated, whether it is caused by work, taking care of the kids, or other factors. When you feel yourself loosing control, take a step back and take 10 deep breaths. Frustration can easily bring on a tension headache.

Avoid irritating people. Anger and irritation are major causes of headaches.

Crying is not good for a headache. If you are prone to sinus headaches, crying is not good for you. When such a person cries for even a minute or two there is very good chance that the tears will lead to a headache.

If you feel you might start crying, try breathing deeply, or try to lie down and fall asleep. Some situations are unavoidable, but some, like sad movies, are easy to avoid.
