Headaches due to Muscle Tension
People who work by sitting will suffer from muscle tension in the neck and shoulder area. This muscle tension reduces the flow of blood and thereby oxygen to the head. This leads to headaches and other complaints. People suffering from this type of headache should check the conditions of their work place. They should assume correct posture; get the height of the chair corrected. They should check if they have any other tension and pressures or if they have taken on too many responsibilities then they can handle.
