What is the headache?

Headache is a frequent companion of an office worker. Especially such an assertion is true for people holding managerial positions and burdened in connection with this high level of responsibility. Usually they do not leave the workplace at 18:00, like most "white-collar workers", but stay at work until the tasks are completed. Often the list of their daily work cases is significantly expanded and contains two or three times more questions and tasks than actually implemented. Often it is necessary to conduct business negotiations and meetings, on which the mental tension associated with the need to solve this or that issue is greatly exacerbated by psychological stress. Even relations with business partners, with whom it would seem, are working together in a single direction, often resemble a calm before the battle, not to mention competitors and opponents.

Returning home, these people do not rest, but continue to be mentally at work, because their responsibility is too high. Considering the unsolved problems of the past working day smoothly flows into thoughts about the routine of the day to come. And so - from day to day, from year to year. Weekends and vacations of managers and managers, as a rule, take place in a fruitless struggle against accumulated stress and obsessive thoughts about solving work tasks. Methods for eliminating stress can be different, and not always they are harmless to health. For example, the popular "method" for solving problems with strong alcohol only pollutes the body and leads to a breakdown with close people, which turns into another source of stress. Only exacerbates the tension and popular way of "resting" in front of the TV or at the computer. As a result, days off from work do not bring relief, and after them workdays come again and with them a new work stress. The headache, dizziness, "shroud" and "flies" are often ignored before the eyes of people engaged in work, there is simply no time to find out the reasons for their appearance. We need to return to an able state in the shortest possible time and continue to solve numerous work tasks. As a result, the pain is "washed down" with coffee and "seized" with pain medications. It happens that the leaders suffering from regular headaches do not even know the numbers of their own blood pressure - there is no time to work! Alas, such an attitude toward one's health can "knock" even the youngest and most promising: the ischemic stroke "gets younger" every year, and more recently it affects people at the age of 30-40 years, if they are in their prime and career !! However, there is a way out: you need to give yourself time. To begin with - at least a few minutes to go for self-diagnosis of the state of the cardiovascular system. The presence of positive answers to the proposed questions is an alarming signal: it's time to see a doctor! The specialist will conduct the examination and propose appropriate treatment. Headache, arterial hypertension, irritability, restless sleep, dizziness and other symptoms often indicate a disorder of cerebral circulation. Under such conditions, doctors prescribe the course methods of combined preparations for the normalization of vascular tone, for example, the drug "Vazobral". Its active components stimulate metabolic processes in the brain, normalize the tone of the vessels, eliminate the effects of hypoxia, have a mild tonic and psycho-stimulating effect. Modern life is at a tremendous speed, which often causes chronic stress. But no matter how important the goals and objectives set, it must be remembered that without good health, their implementation is unlikely to be possible. To prevent ischemic stroke at a young age will help to take an attentive attitude to yourself, correct, "healthy" rest, refusal of alcohol as an antidepressant, and also a course of taking funds to improve cerebral circulation.
