Hello, We all know that these days stress has become so common in everyone’s life and it has its own adverse effects like a headache, high blood pressure, diabetes and so on which can not be ignored. It s good that you are aware of this. Whenever I am asked about such conditions online, I always suggest my patients pay a small visit to a doctor because no matter how busy a person is, health issues should not be ignored. For occasional small headaches, medicines like paracetamol are available over the counter which gives temporary relief. But when the symptoms are repetitive than its very important to get it checked by your physician as there are different types of headaches due to different causes and proper diagnosis is necessary so that the problem won’t persist for long and won’t become severe. Another thing that helps in reducing stress is meditation. It can help a lot and it takes time to master it so you can give it a try. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Manisha Auradkar, General & Family Physician
