Doctor explained when headache should become a cause for concern

Headaches should not bother an adult more than once or twice a month, and children should not experience them at all.

As BAKU.WS reports with reference to Russian media, honored doctor of Russia Alexander Konkov made such an important statement.

The expert emphasized that regular headaches occurring more than 15 times a month may signal serious diseases. He strongly urged to immediately consult specialists if a headache is accompanied by such alarming symptoms as vomiting, vision disturbances, weakness or numbness of limbs - these signs may indicate a stroke. Special attention should be paid to cases associated with head injuries.

- These symptoms may indicate a stroke, so urgent medical intervention can save a life. Also, it is necessary to be under medical supervision in case of head injuries, - noted Konkov.

The professor also drew attention to a modern problem - prolonged use of gadgets. According to him, extended time spent in front of screens causes eye strain and contributes to dehydration, which often becomes the cause of headaches, reports "Lenta.ru".
