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 a 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.
