Heachaches generally cause the patient mild to a brutal pain in either one or numerous areas of the head. The pains can feel like your head is been crushed in a vice to a throbbing sensation type pain.
Headaches are a very common so they are usually nothing to worry about although if they do become more regular or frequent then it’s advisable to visit your doctor.
There doesn’t appear to be any single cause of headaches although there are two types of headache.

A tension headache is usually caused by contractions in the head and neck muscles. This is the most common headache and accounts for 70% of the nations headaches.
They most commonly occur in teenagers and adults of either sex. Stress, Eye Strain, and fatigue are some of the most common problems that might give you a tension headache.

Some people will get migraine headaches, which are caused by the blood vessels in the head and neck when they constrict and reduce blood flow. Migraines are known to affect women more than they affect men and they can also cause sickness and make you sensitive to light and sound.

Got A Headache

Hayfever it’s an awful allergy that most commonly causes, itchy eyes, sore throat, sneezing, runny nose and headaches.

Some people get only mild systems where as some people find it hard to cope with day to day life with their hayfever.

Below is a email that we have recieved about a Hayfever sufferer

I myself suffer really bad with sneezing fits which can just be the odd 1 sneeze to up to 10 in a space of minutes.  I also get a runny and blocked nose which you might not think is to bad, but in turn for blowing your nose you often get sore and dried skin around your nostrils and this is another painful problem.  Itchy eyes also hit me hard although i have found that wearing glasses does help.

You can get nasal sprays and hayfever anti histamines from your doctor, which some people find cures or ease’s their hayfever. 

In all honesty none of these have worked for me so for the past 3 years I have been having a hayfever injection called Kenalog or its full name Kenalog intra-articular/intramuscular injection (triamcinolone). For the past 2 years this has been injected directly into my arm and it pretty much stopped my hayfever, but this year it’s a different scenario as it was injected into my bum by my local GP over the Nurse who has done it for the last 2 years, and it really hasn’t worked. I have itchy eyes, sore nose and can’t stop sneezing.

 I pretty much went to my GP within a week of the same period that I went last year so the only thing that’s changed is where I was injected so I’d recommend to have it injected into your arm even though it does ache for a few days after.
Having this steroid injection for hayfever works by lowering your immune system so it doesn’t get as bothered by all the extra pollen floating about.  This therefore leaves me at a higher risk to catch other infections.

Asthma is a medical condition that affects the tubs that carry oxygen in to your lungs.
Scientists aren’t sure what really causes asthma but they expect that it will be linked genetically and also be triggered by environmental factors.

People in their teenage years that are overweight are at a higher risk of getting asthma although you don’t have to be overweight or have any medical problems to have asthma.

During an asthma attack the airways contract and become smaller which makes breathing more difficult , an attack can be trigger my numerous things such as allergy’s to dust and pollen, certain foods and smoke.

You can look out for the following signs, which might give you an indication that someone is having an asthma attack, Coughing, Shortness of Breath, Chest Pains and wheezing.

Not every Asthma sufferer will experience all of these symptoms but most people with it will during or before a asthma attack. 

If Asthma is left untreated irritation can last for hours and even days in extreme cases. People with asthma usually feel fine and show no signs of this common breathing problem although some do feel short of breath a majority of the time.

Asthma Inhaler
