Head bleed: symptoms and treatment

Probably, every person knows how unpleasant it is when he blew his head. Symptoms following negligence in relation to this important part of the body are very painful, intrusive and terribly interfere with work, rest or study. In addition, the consequences of such "blowing" can be very annoying and lead to dangerous diseases that can make a person disabled, and even lead to death. So, if the head blew, you should not ignore the symptoms. Be sure to determine the problem and immediately begin to be treated.

Can I blow my head? Symptoms caused by colds

Many people mockingly refer to the popular definition "blew a head". Symptoms, they say, indicate the presence of a disease that has a completely scientific name. Moreover, there are several such names, and all health disorders are treated in their own way. This is true. But the people are wise, and in their characteristic of the event clearly indicates its cause. Most colds, especially in the summer heat, are caused by drafts. Risk factors are as follows:

1. Air conditioning included in the maximum. Especially dangerous for those who are closest to him.
2. Open door-windows in opposite ends of the room.
3. Unshaven head in the street in a strong wind.
4. Personal "airing", arranged in public transport, that is, sticking out the head from the windows of the same bus, in order to cool down.
5. Opening in your car all the windows. Then you get a full bunch of all kinds of colds. If one does not know, it is medically wise to lower the glass only on one side, and not more than half.

And if you add very cold drinks in large quantities, especially with ice, or kilograms, eat ice cream, be sure: you will soon be overtaken by health problems.

What we pay attention to

If your head has blown, the symptoms are by no means limited to the pains in the indicated organ, although without them, naturally, you can not do. However, they are added:

1. Blood pressure jumps. For hypertensive patients, this can be said, everyday, but they should pay attention to the "unscheduled" recovery. People who do not suffer from hypertension should immediately be alerted.
2. Dizziness, or even slight disruption of coordination.
3. Chills, accompanied by a rise in temperature.
4. A low hum in the ears. It feels like you hear the blood in your head.
5. Often the impression is made that the roots of the hair hurt (although they seem to be ill can not).

It is clear that the signs are very vague and can correspond to a large number of diseases that occur when the head has blown. Symptoms can be deciphered, as well as an accurate diagnosis, only the doctor can, so do not postpone "for later" a visit to him.

Where exactly it hurts

It is very important to determine in which place the person has blown his head. Symptoms in adults and children are approximately similar, but what to expect from a child, even if a solid uncle with a higher education can sometimes fail to pinpoint exactly where he is experiencing discomfort? But it's very important to make a diagnosis!

1. Frontal pain. In most cases - above the eyebrow and right. This is a clear manifestation of the consequences of a draft.
2. Lumbago in the temple. Also most often from the right side, and usually when touched. It certainly did not "blown his head" - the symptoms clearly indicate more serious problems.
3. Aching pain in the temple, rising in spades and falling sharply. It is characteristic for osteochondrosis of the cervical region. The temperature is not accompanied.
4. "Shoots" in the head. These are the so-called reflected pains. That is, you have something else that hurts, but only gives itself to the topic. A full and close examination may be required.
5. Backache in the back of the head. Another sign that you blew a head. Or, if observed in the morning and in the absence of drafts, you rarely turned around during sleep, and your head was in a rather uncomfortable position.
6. Growing and falling pain, increasing in lying position, can talk about a sick tooth.
7. Shoots in the ear and the side of the head hurts from the same side - most likely, otitis. He, too, is called "blowing" and can give to the entire area of the forehead and the back of the head.

If you can more accurately describe your feelings (at least for yourself), and they themselves will know what to do until they get to the polyclinic, and the doctor will more accurately and quickly diagnose.

Head bleed: symptoms and treatment

If it happened that you did not get to the doctor (often signs appear in the evening or on the day off), and the symptoms indicate exactly the pathology we are considering, we must be able to help ourselves until the hospital opens. First, take aspirin and drink tea - strong and with honey. If there are pains in the throat, rinse it with broths of sage, oak or calendula (a spoonful of dry remedy for a glass of boiling water). Often accompanied by a cold head myositis (muscular pain in the neck) is facilitated by lubricating the affected area with an anti-inflammatory ointment followed by trituration. At night, it is necessary to warm the head - at least with a hat. You can light the aroma lamp.

With ear pains, a compress is done, but not on the shell itself, but around it. To do this, a hole is cut through a thick layer of gauze, the cloth is wetted with vodka and put on a nicking organ. Above everything is covered with polyethylene, after - cotton wool, and then fixed with a bandage or kerchief. Two hours later the pain subsides. But the morning - run to the doctor: otitis can give the most severe complications, up to the loss of hearing and inflammation of the brain.

And is the head cold?

In any case, a visit to the doctor can not be avoided if your head has blown. Symptoms can testify not only to the common cold. Headaches, fever, jumping pressure and darkening in the eyes are caused by very serious diseases:

1. Infectious brain abscess. If the head persistently hurts more than half a day - this is a very alarming signal. And this problem is eliminated only surgically.
2. Meningitis. Including caused by drafts, especially if you are in the wind walking with a wet head. But it can also be contagious. The disease is very dangerous, fraught with a fatal outcome.

We already spoke about osteochondrosis. Headaches cause migraine. However, both these diseases are chronic. That is, the people suffering from them know what to do in case of seizures.

Prevention - always!

In order not to become a regular visitor of medical institutions, it is enough to follow simple rules of personal safety: do not sit under the window, wear a hat on windy days, know what symptoms if the head has blown, and if they appear, contact the doctor, not handfuls to drink anesthetic. Do not be ill!
