I'm so tired of these tension headaches which are causing anxiety to hit the roof. I hope it's nothing wrong with my brainš¤·š»
Hi Peace T, years ago, I use to suffer from daily tension headaches known as muscular
contraction headaches. They were caused by my constant fear and anxiety which made
me jut my head forward. This position caused undo stress on my muscles, nerves and
ligaments. This in turn caused hard solid trigger points in the base of my skull as well
as down the back of my neck and upper shoulders.
These headaches were only interrupted by my migraines several times a month.
I was literally in constant pain until I saw a physical therapist who worked on those
trigger points to relieve not only the pressure on the nerve casing the pain in my head
but also released the trapper lymphatic fluid causing that pressure and full headed
feeling.
I also had 6 months of Acupuncture which worked tremendously but was expensive
out of pocket treatment.
Reiki was helpful but short lived. But I never stopped learning new ways to control
the pain since medication didn't help but rather just made me sleepy.
Something that helped was Meditation using visualization, affirmations, relaxation,
self hypnosis, biofeedback, breathing and hydration.
The Neurologist ordered CT scans, MRI but it was therapy both talking and physical
that helped the most. At home I used Meditation and Breathing. I trained my mind
in having the power to overrule my pain. The less I gave into the pain pattern, the
more it lessened where I could cope. Eventually, the headaches disappeared just as
quickly as they had once come about. Life is Good. Wishing that for you as well xx
