高齡族的頭痛
楊惟婷整理
年輕時常出現的偏頭痛和其他原發性頭痛，可能隨著年齡增加而日趨緩和。不過對老年人而言，該注意的是次發性頭痛，因為可能是罹患其他疾病引起的頭痛。
一、原發性頭痛引起
1、偏頭痛
很多有偏頭痛的人到了40幾歲，頭痛發作的頻率開始降低。只有2％的成人到50歲後，才開始發生偏頭痛。
但此類型偏頭痛事先多有預兆，不過如果頭痛預兆出現，卻沒頭痛症狀，則千萬不能大意，因為預兆很可能來自其他疾病，尤其是暫時性腦缺血，可能是腦中風的警訊，必須由醫生評估。
2、緊縮型頭痛
緊縮型頭痛是老人最常見的頭痛。有10％的老人在50歲後，首度嘗到緊縮型頭痛，發作時額頭像被帶子緊緊勒住，持續幾小時或幾天。
如果頭痛一個星期發作好幾次，就可能和過度用藥，而導致反彈性頭痛有關。
3、睡眠頭痛
睡眠頭痛幾乎是唯一只發生於老年人的原發性頭痛。大部份患者是在65～85歲之間，首度經歷睡眠頭痛。
睡眠頭痛發生在晚上，讓人頭痛到醒過來。通常每晚同樣時間發作，從中度到重度抽痛，每次時間從15分鐘到1、2小時。
顱動脈炎、睡眠呼吸中止症、腦瘤和硬膜下血腫症狀，常造成夜間頭痛，很容易和睡眠疼痛混淆，因此必須先將次發性頭痛的原因排除。
睡前來一點咖啡因可能預防頭痛發作。
二、其他疾病引起的次發性頭痛
50歲以上的人，原發性頭痛比率降低，但次發性頭痛的比率則增加。
一旦過了65歲，因為嚴重次發性疾病導致頭痛的危險性增加10倍。
50歲後，頭痛可能來自於常見的疾病。這些疾病包括：
1、腦血管疾病
隨著年紀增長，發生血管狹窄、阻塞、發炎或受傷，以至於阻礙血液流到腦部的危險性也隨之增加。血流長時間受阻，可能造成致命的威脅。
■高血壓：
高血壓初期，頭的後部可能發生鈍痛，但大部份要一直到很危險的地步，可能損壞血管或重要器官時，才會出現頭痛。隨著年齡增加等因素，危險性也會提高。
■暫時性腦缺血發作和腦中風：
也稱為小中風或中風預警，暫時阻礙流往腦部的血流，增加中風的危險性。這類型疾病造成頭痛發作時，可能伴隨手腳無力、麻痺或刺痛、言語困難、視力減退或喪失，及失去平衡或協調。
■顱動脈炎：
也稱為巨細胞動脈炎或顳動脈炎，好發於老人，平均70歲開始發作。動脈發炎導致頭抽痛、頭皮痛與頜疼痛。眼睛和腦部的血流少，可能造成失明或腦中風等併發症。
2、顱內異常
腦瘤是相當罕見的頭痛原因，但這些異常細胞簇（cellclusters）的形成，在老年更常見，並且可能製造更嚴重的頭痛。事實上，頭痛通常是腦瘤形成的第一個跡象，伴隨嘔吐、視力模糊、言語困難等其他症狀。
而平穩或波動不定的頭痛，可能是硬膜下血腫造成，這也可能增加腦部壓力。這種情況較可能發生在與年長有關的腦萎縮。
3、神經痛
三叉神經痛主要發生在50歲以後。突然發生臉部灼燒般疼痛，可能持續幾秒到約一分鐘。
帶狀疹後神經痛是由於過去的水痘病毒，在神經細胞內再度受到活化而引起。
在帶狀疹的紅疹痊癒很久後，受影響的部位如臉部，仍會有尖銳、灼燒般的劇痛。年長者比較容易罹患。
4、眼、頷、頸與頜的情況與代謝異常
持續的鈍痛，特別是在頭部後面，可能是頸椎關節沾黏。這是頸部軟骨和骨頭異常磨損，及神經根受壓迫所造成的異常狀況。
青光眼患者大部份年過50，會造成眼球內部壓力增加，損壞視神經。急性隅角閉鎖性青光眼通常是指一隻眼睛突然劇痛，可能演變成廣泛性頭痛。
新陳代謝異常如甲狀腺機能亢進和減退，可能導致體內荷爾蒙失去平衡，造成疲倦、四肢無力、噁心和頭痛。
5、藥物副作用與藥物濫用
包括高血壓、心臟病、肺氣腫、潰瘍、巴金森症和停經藥物常發生頭痛的副作用。止痛和治鼻塞成藥也可能造成慢性頭痛。
三、頭痛治療
如果你在50歲以後，出現不曾有過的頭痛，最好去看醫生，找出紓解或預防頭痛的方式。
如果你偶然有偏頭痛或緊縮型頭痛，最好在頭痛剛出現時吃止痛藥。但如果頭痛愈來愈頻繁，可得注意，因為可能會出現與年紀、整體健康狀況有關的潛在併發症。
不過須注意，過度使用成藥，可能引起噁心、胃痛、胃出血或潰瘍，尤其是對老年人。合併乙醯胺酚與較強的巴比妥酸鹽或鴉片劑的止痛劑，與反彈性頭痛有密切關連。
特別研發用於緩和偏頭痛或其他慢性頭痛的處方藥，以及用於紓解偏頭痛和叢發性頭痛的皮質類固醇，可能不適用於老年人。醫師可以低劑量的止痛藥結合放鬆療法等非藥物療法，來減輕病患頭痛。
最近幾年，按摩、針灸等非藥物療法大受歡迎，用來輔助傳統頭痛治療。可和醫生商量，找出最適合你的年紀與最有益於你的治療之道。
四、提神醒腦穴道按摩
以下教大家幾個提神穴道方法，可幫助你上班更清醒～
按摩穴位好提神方法
1、太陽穴：輕按或輕揉即可，不可用力過度。
2、百會穴：輕按、輕揉有些微痠脹感即可。
3、風池穴：雙手輕抓住頭部，兩隻大拇指揉穴位，可感覺到明顯痠脹感。
4、足三里穴：按摩力道可稍大，一樣會有痠脹感。

Good blog post. The things i would like to add is that pc memory needs to be purchased when your computer cannot cope with anything you do by using it.

One should look for the car maker’s documentation for own PC to make sure what type of storage is needed.

Thanks for your publication. One other thing is individual states have their particular laws that will affect people, which makes it very, very hard for the the nation’s lawmakers to come up with the latest set of rules concerning foreclosures on people. The problem is that each state features own legislation which may interact in an adverse manner with regards to foreclosure guidelines.
