According to her, one of the common causes of autumn headaches is a change in sleep patterns. Daylight hours become shorter, making it more difficult to wake up in the morning, while many people spend more time in front of screens in the evening. Stress also plays a role. After the holiday season ends, people return to intensive work, and their daily worries increase. Even the habit of skipping breakfast can trigger headaches.
People with migraines are more sensitive to this issue, as long intervals between meals may trigger another attack.
The doctor also stressed that dehydration can trigger headaches or worsen existing ones. People tend to feel less thirsty in cold weather, which may lead them to drink less fluid than usual.
According to her, the risk of catching colds increases in autumn. Viral infections are often accompanied by headaches, fever, weakness and nasal congestion. However, discomfort in the forehead and the bridge of the nose is not always associated with sinusitis.
Sometimes, these symptoms may indicate a migraine or tension headache, which can initially be misdiagnosed as sinusitis.
Dr. Svetlana Malinovskaya noted that cold compresses on the forehead, gentle massage of the neck and shoulders, and applying pressure to specific points between the eyebrows may help relieve migraines. Cold temperatures constrict blood vessels, while massage and pressure on certain points help ease muscle tension and pain.
