There is nothing else to say: the heat came with everything, and with it, the consequences it had on the body. Among the reactions that can occur at these high temperatures is that uncomfortable headache.
According to cardiologist André Casarsa, from Rede D’Or, the increase in thermometers can indeed intensify such pain.
This occurs mainly as a response to dehydration. Added to this, other environmental factors, such as air humidity and blood pressure, can also influence the appearance of discomfort.
Migraines, although not caused by the weather, can be intensified by it.
“Migraine is a chronic disease. Individuals with a history of migraines may have their attacks worsen as a result of exposure to high temperatures. Avoiding excessive sun exposure, drinking adequate water and cooling the head with cold water compresses are measures that can alleviate crisis symptoms. The indiscriminate use of painkillers and anti-inflammatories can worsen symptoms instead of helping.”

He also says that, although it is difficult to differentiate headaches caused by heat from other causes, one of the characteristics that help to define them is that, normally, headaches caused by high temperatures are of low intensity, with a feeling of heaviness. or pressure in the head.
Neurosurgeon Orlando Maia states that preventing episodes basically consists of maintaining adequate hydration and controlling environmental humidity.
Cardiologist André Casarsa highlights that maintaining a light diet, avoiding foods rich in sodium and sugar, as well as alcoholic beverages, helps maintain the body’s balance and avoid dehydration.
It is also important to maintain a daily sleep and rest routine to ensure adequate brain function.
“The elderly and children are examples of groups with risk factors for dehydration and, therefore, headache. However, people with chronic headaches are more sensitive to changes in temperature and may be victims of new attacks”, warns Maia.
According to experts, once a headache sets in, you should rest and moderately use painkillers. If symptoms persist, it is recommended to seek professional help.
