Right Brain Pain: Be Alert for These Four Conditions

Generally speaking, there is no such saying as "be alert to four diseases when experiencing right-brain pain." Right-side brain pain may be caused by factors such as mental stress, trauma, migraine, cervical spondylosis, hypertension, etc. It is recommended to seek timely medical attention, identify the cause, and follow medical advice for treatment. Details are as follows:

1. Mental Stress: Long-term mental stress, work pressure, and other factors may cause a feeling of distending pain on the right side of the head, and may also trigger anxiety, depression, insomnia, etc. The pain is usually caused by muscle tension or blood vessel constriction due to mental stress. Stress can be relieved by reading, listening to music, watching TV, etc., to maintain a pleasant mood.

2. Trauma: Impact injuries, falls, falling objects from a height, and other factors may cause damage to the soft tissues or skull on the right side of the brain, resulting in pain symptoms. Patients may also experience symptoms such as scalp swelling or hematoma. If the patient has an open injury on the right side of the brain, local cleanliness should be maintained to prevent secondary bacterial infection.

3. Migraine: This condition may be caused by disorders of nerve cell excitability, abnormal hormone levels in the body, or genetic factors. It typically presents as a pulsating headache on one side, often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and photophobia. Pain relief medications such as ibuprofen capsules, acetaminophen tablets, and flunarizine hydrochloride capsules may be used according to medical advice.

4. Cervical Spondylosis: Cervical spondylosis is a condition based on degenerative pathological changes in the intervertebral discs. Patients may experience compression of the right-side nerves and blood vessels due to cervical spine issues, leading to insufficient blood and oxygen supply to the brain and causing pain on the right side of the head. Patients can take medications such as mecobalamin tablets, Shujin Huoxue tablets (relaxing tendons and activating blood circulation tablets), and eperisone hydrochloride tablets under a doctor's guidance. These medications have effects of nourishing nerves, promoting blood circulation, and relieving muscle tension.

5. Hypertension: Hypertension refers to a condition where the pressure exerted by blood flowing against blood vessel walls remains persistently higher than normal. Due to elevated blood pressure causing brain blood vessels to dilate or constrict, patients may experience pain on the right side of the head. Hypertensive patients should regularly monitor their blood pressure and follow medical recommendations for drug treatment, such as furosemide tablets, losartan potassium-hydrochlorothiazide tablets, and benidipine hydrochloride tablets, which have strong blood pressure-lowering effects.

In daily life, it is important to maintain good living habits and emotional well-being, avoiding excessive fatigue and excessive mental stress.
