What causes headaches in teenagers?

We all know that the intellectual development of teenagers is particularly important during their growth process, especially for some children who need to take the middle school entrance examination and the college entrance examination. They must over-review and over-use their brains for a period of time before the examination. In this way, the brain cannot get enough rest. The psychological pressure plus a certain amount of pressure may cause headaches in teenagers, which will eventually affect the children's academic performance. So what are the causes of headaches in teenagers?

Teenagers are in the stage of growing up and studying. If they experience headaches, the causes are relatively complicated. Many middle school students often suffer from headaches after reading or studying for a long time. In the long run, it not only causes a serious psychological burden, but also causes a decline in academic performance, and further leads to various negative emotional reactions and insomnia.

The cause is mostly ocular headaches, which are common in many eye diseases among adolescents. The most common ones are refractive errors (myopia and astigmatism), glaucoma, iridocyclitis, keratitis, corneal ulcers, orbital infections and tumors.

Another important cause of headaches in adolescents is psychological factors.

Clinically, some young people are observed to be introverted, unsociable, and taciturn, and they develop a rebellious mentality towards the heavy life in secondary schools, stressful examinations, and the constant demands and blame from their parents and teachers. This mental factor is reflected in the body, and coupled with the adolescent growth and development period and the unstable personality stage, the clinical manifestations are headaches, insomnia, memory loss, a sharp decline in academic performance, and antipathy towards parents and classmates.

The main consideration should be that the possibility of vascular neurosis headache is relatively high. If it occurs frequently, it will definitely affect learning. It is recommended that you take oral medications such as ibuprofen and Nootropics. Pay attention to rest and ensure adequate and effective sleep. Pay attention to managing stress, avoid staying up late and excessive mental stress. Eat a light diet, do not eat spicy and other irritating foods, prevent colds, and observe for a period of time. If necessary, you need to go to the neurology department to see a doctor for examination, and do related examinations such as head CT and transcranial Doppler to clarify the cause and then do targeted treatment.
