Take this headache seriously

An eye and orbit surgeon says: Any headache lasting more than one week requires a detailed examination of the optic nerve head. If swelling of the optic nerve head is observed, the patient must be immediately referred to specialized centers to control skull pressure.

An eye and pupil surgeon says: Any headache that lasts more than a week requires a detailed examination of the optic nerve head, and if swelling is observed in the optic nerve head, the patient should be immediately referred to specialized centers to control the pressure in the skull.

According to Ambassador Arjan, citing Ambassador Arjan, many people attribute their frequent headaches only to stress or fatigue, but in reality, the eyes are one of the main candidates for headaches. The relationship between the visual system and headache follows two main paths: "eye structural problems" and "nervous disorders".

In the first category, refractive error (such as myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism) is the main factor. When the eye tries too hard to focus on objects, the ciliary muscles are strained and spasmed, resulting in "tension headaches" or pain in the forehead and around the eyes.

Also, dry eyes and intraocular pressure (such as glaucoma) can also be powerful triggers for severe pain.

In the second category, there are primary headaches such as "migraines". In this case, the problem is not the eye, but a disturbance in the nervous system that causes visual stimuli (such as strong light or certain light patterns) to trigger a migraine attack.

If your headaches are accompanied by blurred vision, diplopia, or a feeling of pressure behind the eyes, you should not neglect a specialized ophthalmological examination. Timely diagnosis is the main key to get rid of this painful cycle.

Nasser Karimi, an eye and pupil plastic surgeon and a faculty member of Iran University of Medical Sciences, warned about a dangerous medical condition that can lead to vision loss. Referring to his clinical experiences in the clinic, Karimi reported the observation of alarming cases in which young women (between the ages of 25 and 35) face a sudden loss of vision in both eyes after weeks of headaches.

He attributed this situation to the phenomenon of "increased intracranial pressure".

He emphasized that contrary to the common belief that this condition is associated only with brain tumors, other factors such as "obesity" and "excessive use of drugs containing estrogen" are equally dangerous.

According to him, obesity and the use of hormonal drugs without indication can increase brain pressure by creating clots in the large veins of the skull and lead to the gradual destruction of axons of ganglion cells (valuable visual fibers).

While recommending to avoid obesity and excessive use of drugs, Karimi emphasized to his medical colleagues: "Headache is one of the most common complaints; Any headache that lasts more than a week requires a careful examination of the optic nerve head with an ophthalmoscope.

He added: If swelling is observed in the optic nerve head, the golden time of treatment is passing and the patient should be immediately referred to specialized centers to control cranial pressure.

The expansion of new communication tools has caused a phenomenon called "verbal narcissism", which challenges the quality of interpersonal communication by replacing real interactions with individual monologues.

Sugar has long been considered as one of the possible causes of children's hyperactivity; But the available scientific evidence does not show that sugar consumption causes attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, blood sugar fluctuations can affect concentration, mood, and energy levels.

In a systematic review and meta-analysis, the researchers showed that the infection of the spine fusion surgery site, if the implants are kept, does not necessarily lead to more pain and disability in the long term, but it increases the risk of non-union of the vertebrae, re-surgery and re-hospitalization.

Dizziness, blurred vision, headache and even nausea may be signs of a stroke; Symptoms that are sometimes not taken seriously due to their similarity to common and everyday complications and destroy the opportunity for timely treatment.

A large study of more than 4.2 million people shows that physical activity during leisure time reduces the risk of dementia. But physical activity at work not only has no protective effect, but may increase the risk of dementia. This finding has led researchers to an important contradiction.
