Cluster Headaches

Cluster Headaches are headaches that come on quickly and the person may have several headaches over a few days or weeks. The cluster headache is like a migraine in it's intensity and can change your life if you are in the midst of a cluster.

While the medical community has known for a long time that high flow oxygen really helps these headache suffers, I just read about a recent study in England.

What they found in their study was that high flow oxygen stopped the cluster headache within 15 minutes 78% of the time. This was compared to room air placebo treatment where the headaches were relieved about 20% of the time.

If you are a cluster headache sufferer, talk to your doctor about oxygen therapy.

Ten Things To Do To Decrease Stress #1

Remember to eat. This sounds pretty simple, but often times when we are stressed, we simply forget to eat. Eating 3 meals a day is critical to keeping up your energy.

Also, when you don't eat you can begin to develop symptoms of a body in need of food such as headache and fatigue.

The other side of this coin is also prevalent in our society today and that is that when we are stressed all we do is eat. While you need food, don't make it a comfort in times of stress. Eat sensibly and at appropriate times.
