Headache occurs when bending the head down or lifting it up

Headaches triggered by低头一抬头 (lowering and raising the head) may be caused by conditions such as migraines, cervical spondylosis, or cerebral arteritis. Treatment options include general management, medication, and surgery. Specific analyses are as follows:

1. Migraine

Migraine is a common neurovascular headache disorder. Abnormal neuronal excitability leads to blood vessel dilation and inflammatory responses, resulting in headache symptoms. Patients can take analgesic medications such as ibuprofen sustained-release capsules or acetaminophen tablets under medical guidance.

2. Cervical Spondylosis

Cervical spondylosis refers to diseases caused by degenerative changes in the cervical spine. Degeneration of intervertebral discs and bone spur formation may compress nerve roots or neck blood vessels, leading to abnormal nerve conduction and impaired blood circulation, causing symptoms such as head discomfort and limb numbness. Under medical supervision, patients may use medications such as neurotrophic agents and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including mecobalamin tablets and diclofenac sodium sustained-release tablets, to relieve symptoms.

3. Cerebral Arteritis

Cerebral arteritis is caused by pathogens triggering immune system dysfunction and inflammatory responses, leading to cerebrovascular lesions and ischemia, which result in symptoms such as headache and dizziness. Treatment options include percutaneous balloon angioplasty and bypass surgery.

In addition to the above causes, similar symptoms may also result from moyamoya disease, intracranial aneurysms, or skull tumors. In daily life, it is important to maintain healthy habits, avoid excessive fatigue, keep a positive mood, and limit prolonged computer use, all of which may help alleviate local symptoms.
