4. Tension Headaches
Tension headaches can tell you a lot about your health, and they are common in people who spend a long time hunched in the same position – for example, people who work at a desk for most of their lives; they can also be very common in people who take a lot of muscular strain, such as professional sportspeople.
Tension headaches are always reason for concern, usually because they’re pointing to the fact that there’s something else wrong with your health that will need to be addressed: Sometimes neck and back problems can be associated with tension headaches, and you could expose yourself to even more serious injury if you don’t treat the cause.
Posture can be a common cause, as can muscular strain; massage and heat compresses can help to ease the pain that comes along with a tension headache.
If it continues or culminates in other symptoms such as numbness in the extremities, take special care and make an immediate appointment with your doctor.
