Introduction
Prolonged crying can lead to cerebral hypoxia and ischemia, causing symptoms such as headache and nausea. Headaches and nausea after intense crying can be relieved through medication, heat application, massage, and other methods. First, lie down immediately to rest and regulate your emotions. Then, use both hands to massage the Baihui acupoint (GV20) at the crown of the head in circular motions, followed by massaging and kneading the Fengchi acupoints (GB20) at the back of the neck.
When a person cries, the brain is in a relatively tense state. If crying lasts too long, it may lead to brain hypoxia and ischemia, resulting in headaches and nausea. Headaches and nausea after intense crying can be relieved through medication, warm compresses, massage, and other methods. The specific steps for massage are as follows:
1. First, have the patient lie flat on the bed, rest appropriately, and calm their emotions.
2. Use the thumbs or index fingers of both hands to massage the Baihui acupoint in circular motions for 30 to 50 rotations. The Baihui acupoint is located at the intersection of the midline of the head and the line connecting the tips of the two ears.
3. Then gently support the patient's head and tilt it backward. Place the thumbs of both hands on the Fengchi acupoints located behind the earlobes, and press in a circular rotating motion.
Precautions:
If the above measures fail to provide relief, seek medical attention promptly and use medication under a doctor’s guidance to alleviate headache symptoms.
