Eight out of 10 of the female patients who come to see me have had or are suffering from headaches, so we'll talk about them today – headaches.
Depending on the cause of the headache, we fall into three categories:
(1) Primary headache, including migraine, tension headache, cluster headache, etc.;
(2) Secondary headache, including headache caused by head and neck trauma, cranial and cervical vascular factors, intracranial non-vascular diseases, infections, drug withdrawal, mental factors and other causes;
(3) Headache caused by cranial neuralgia, central and primary facial pain, other facial structural lesions and other types of headaches. For primary headaches, as well as headaches caused by mental factors, rubbing the acupuncture points has a certain pain relief effect.
Many times the cause of headache is relatively general, but the primary headache disease is mainly based on symptomatic treatment, and patients may also have headaches if their blood pressure rises, mainly to regulate blood pressure treatment; Cervical spondylosis can also occur, most of which are mainly pain in the brain, and may also be caused by neuralgia, such as patients with trigeminal neuralgia; If the patient has an organic lesion of the brain, such as a brain tumor, it may also appear.
Chinese medicine believes that headaches can be divided into two aspects: internal injuries and external sensations:
Internal Injuries - Jingyue Quanshu Miscellaneous Evidence: "If the internal injuries have a headache, they must not be detained by Sanyang." "Generally, the onset of the disease is relatively slow, and it is often easy to attack when it is tired and windy, or emotional stimulation, and there are insufficient internal organs and blood or internal evil evidence, most of which are false evidence." It mainly refers to headaches caused by internal organs, qi and blood damage, or internal evil disturbances.
External sensation - that is, the headache caused by external evil. The onset is more urgent, the headache is persistent for a long time, accompanied by cold, fever, nasal congestion and runny nose, bone joint pain, cough and other symptoms, which are mostly empirical.
External headaches are due to the nature of external evils, the affected parts and the stage of disease development, including cold headaches, typhoid headaches, wind chill headaches, wind and heat headaches, rheumatic headaches, heat headaches, sun headaches, Yangming headaches, and Shaoyang headaches.
