Headache is one of the most annoying ailments. However, it is not always related to serious diseases. Some reasons of headache will be a big surprise for you.

It you think that this could be a reason of your headache, don’t hesitate and change them to some others. The best medications to treat headache related to odors are aspirin and acetaminophen. Avoid products that contain caffeine. They may worsen the situation.
2. Weather. Scientific studies have shown that people with predisposition to headache are more sensitive to high pressure, rising air temperature, high humidity and even cloudy weather. It is believed that weather changes cause chemical and electrical changes in the brain which irritate nerves and it can lead to strong headache. This type of pain can be relieved with cold compresses.
3. Earrings, headbands and complicated hairstyles. Muscles that lie beneath your scalp do not have pain fibers, but connective tissue has them. Pain can develop if your hair is tightly bound as this irritates your kin tissue. Similar pain can be causes by hair ties, headbands heavy earrings and so on.
