Headache Clinic warns about the Hay fever headaches
We also spoke to Dr Elliot Shevel - Chairman of the South African Headache Society. We were talking about the hay fever headaches. It is said that October and November are peak allergy months in Cape Town, and with the Western Cape now consistently recording pollen counts of over 30 - considered extremely high - allergic people should be sure to seek help soon because there is still a long time to go. Hay fever headaches cause a dull, deep, throbbing pain. Some of the symptoms of hay fever headaches are pressure like pain in one specific area of your face or head, face is tender to the touch, pain is worse with sudden movements of the head and bending forward and worse pain in the morning. They are caused by an inflammation in your sinuses. Headaches often begin as soon as you get up in the morning, and may be better by the afternoon. Dr Shevel explained more about the available treatment. For more information contact the Headache Clinic on 0861 678 911 or send an email to www.headclin.co.za
