咖啡對頭痛的影響

Many people start their day with coffee, but becoming too reliant on it can lead to problems.Headachemines.
Coffee has an enticing aroma, and many office workers rely on it to stay alert. However, it's a double-edged sword. Caffeine can relieve headaches, but if you drink a lot of coffee and it becomes a habit, you may experience headaches and fatigue if you stop drinking it.
"I drink a cup of coffee every morning and afternoon on weekdays, but I don't drink any on weekends, and then my headaches flare up, ruining my holiday," many patients describe it this way.
Dr. Wang Shu-chun, director of the Neurology Center at Taipei Veterans General Hospital, said that this type of caffeine withdrawal headache often occurs several hours after stopping coffee consumption, such as upon waking in the evening or early morning, or immediately after not drinking coffee on weekends. "More and more people are experiencing headaches due to caffeine withdrawal, and many experts recommend that headache sufferers stay away from coffee as much as possible."
If you find that your headaches are related to caffeine withdrawal, you may consider:
• Gradually reduce the amount:
For example, gradually reduce from 5 cups a day to 1 cup or less. People suffering from migraines should drink no more than 1 cup of coffee a day.
• Drink regularly and in measured amounts:
If you can't completely give up coffee, drink it regularly and in measured amounts, such as one cup every morning at 8 a.m.
