What should I do if I have a headache after riding in a car?

Nowadays, people cannot go out without cars. Almost every household has a car, and some families even have more than one or two cars. Cars occupy most of the transportation hubs, but sitting in a car for a long time will still make you uncomfortable. Some people get carsick, some have back pain, and some have headaches and dizziness. However, sometimes when you are on a business trip or traveling by car, you cannot avoid sitting or driving for a long time. Let me tell you what to do if you have a headache after sitting in a car for a long time.

Headache is one of the most common symptoms of human diseases. According to British statistics, 85% of the population will experience a headache at least once a year, and 38% of adults will suffer from headaches within two weeks. This shows how common headache is. Fortunately, most headaches are not caused by any serious physical illness, nor are they usually caused by any diseased tissue in the head. However, there are so many causes of headaches that you definitely need the help of professional medical personnel to find them accurately.

The following 7 flexibility exercises are designed specifically for the face and scalp. They can help you relax the muscles in these areas and enable you to take control actions at the first signs of a headache.

Raise eyebrows: Raise both eyebrows at the same time, and then lower them.

Squint: Close your eyes quickly and then relax. Next, squint your right eye hard and relax. Next, close your left eye and relax.

Frown: squeeze your eyebrows hard and relax.

Open your mouth: Slowly open your mouth as wide as possible, then slowly close it.

Move your jaw: Open your mouth slightly and move your jaw left and right.

Wrinkle your nose: Squeeze your nose upward with force, as if you smell something bad.

Make faces: Make faces casually, like when you were a kid. Don't worry, your face won't be distorted by this.

The above methods are the countermeasures for headaches after sitting in a car for a long time. They seem funny, but the effect is really good. You can try them when you have a headache in the future. But I still advise everyone not to sit in a car for too long, and don’t drive when you are tired. Get off and take a walk after sitting for a long time. Stop for a while and relax when you are tired. Health is the most important thing.
