Some diseases might seem quite unrelated to headaches. Yet headaches are
one of the manifestations of these diseases. It is, thus important, to
gain knowledge about such diseases.
Anemia
Anemia is one of the most
common disorders, especially among women. Anemia in women is caused due
to the monthly blood loss and inadequate iron in their diet, which
ultimately results in inadequate amount of Red Blood Cells (RBC). As the
body lacks the oxygen-carrying RBCs, organs of the body remain deprived
of nutrients and oxygen.
Since the amount of oxygen reaching the
brain is also less, it leads to the swelling of arteries in that area,
causing headaches.
Hypoglycemia
Hypoglycemia
is a condition where the amount of sugar in the blood plummets down
rapidly reaching levels of below 50 mg/dl. This condition may result in
a person experiencing lightheadedness, weakness, headache, sweating and
change in the level of consciousness if the sugar level falls too low.
Headaches
are caused as a result of the brain’s inability to receive enough oxygen
and nutrients. This condition usually results, when the person is either
diabetic or undertakes fasting for a prolonged period of time.
You
can follow certain guidelines in order to avoid hypoglycemia.
•Eat
your meals at regular intervals.
•Avoid excess of simple carbohydrates
•Do
not oversleep in the morning.
Some migraine patients may
experience cravings for carbohydrates either before or during the
attack. It is found that consuming carbohydrates at that point can end
the migraine episode. Sometimes, the person may be experience a dull,
throbbing headache in the temples. This is the non-migraine kind of
headache associated with hypoglycemia.
