One of the most frustrating aspects of headaches is the lack of a clear cause. When you don't know why your head hurts, coping with unpleasant sensations is more difficult both psychologically and “technically”. And if you also have increased anxiety, it is not surprising to begin to suspect you have a variety of diseases.
In fact, everything can turn out to be much simpler and more prosaic - perhaps a bra does not suit you. Did you know that one size D breast weighs a whole pound (over 450 grams)? Two such pounds puts a decent strain on your ribcage, which leads to neck strain and can cause headaches. New York Post.
What's more, research shows that 78% of women around the world wear the wrong size bra, which often causes back, shoulder, chest and neck pain. According to Paula Svoboda, a specialist in bra selection at Triumph, it is quite possible that this is how women come to regularly use painkillers. During her 17-year career, Paula helped 50 thousand women pick up bras and saw a lot in dressing rooms.
Paula once asked the client if she had pains in the upper part of the neck and headaches, when she saw that the bra that the woman was wearing was too tight, and her skin and muscles looked sore. It turned out that she complains of undiagnosed pain, which she had experienced for several years, without a clarified reason. After selecting the right bra two weeks later, the client reported that the pain completely disappeared, and since then has never occurred.
The expert suggests applying for the services of a professional "fitting" bra every six months, and buying new ones once a year, since they tend to stretch and redistribute the load incorrectly. If the bra does not support the way it is intended, it can be assumed that it does not support your breasts at all, and may even harm. If you have large breasts, choosing the right bra is even more important: look for models with wider straps and a base with more hooks. Such a cut will contribute to a beautiful appearance of the chest under the clothes, and to reduce the load on the shoulders. And if that means getting rid of the headaches, then the effort is definitely worth it.
