Heaviness, fog and cotton wool in the head - find out the reasons, take measures

Not all diseases manifest themselves as a whole complex of symptoms. Many of them make themselves felt by violations, the nature of which confuses the formulation of a true diagnosis. This especially applies to strange sensations in the head, the occurrence of which is often explained by fatigue. Unfortunately, this is not always the case.

Blurredness, squeezing and rumbling in the temples, a feeling of emptiness / heaviness and cotton wool in my head are phenomena that will not surprise a modern person. It is not surprising that these symptoms cause anxiety only if they often appear. Otherwise, a person does not attach much importance to them. Worse, it seems to him that he is able to eliminate them on his own.

Strange and unusual sensations in the head, as well as abnormalities in the visual system - this is the reason for turning to a specialist. If these symptoms are very rare after mental or physical exertion and are of short duration, then there is no reason for panic, since in this case they are really a consequence of fatigue.

Features of the manifestations

Heaviness in the head, dizziness, weakness and a sense of inhibition can occur, just a week, and several times a day. Often this is facilitated by the impact of anything:

• weather;
• physical activities;
• of mental activity.

But sometimes this state can arise, as they say, "from scratch".Those.a minute ago feeling in a tone of a man suddenly feels incomprehensible sensations. His head seems to grow heavy and stretches to the floor, his eyes become hazy, and his mind becomes blunted, so that it becomes impossible to carry out any activity. The condition is as if a person instantly became drunk.

Sensations of "vatnosti" can be accompanied by headache, dizziness, weakness, palpitations, increased / decreased pressure. Often the patient experiences weakness throughout the body.

This condition can manifest itself, both partially and completely, covering, depriving the person of the opportunity to move normally. The duration of the attack is a few minutes, but it can stretch for a longer time.

Revealing the cause is the paramount task of

It has already been emphasized that all of the above sensations are just the symptoms that indicate the development of that or other disease.

For an exact definition of which disease causes heaviness and nebula in the head, you should consult an experienced specialist.

Also, for your own education, you should familiarize yourself with the most common reasons for which the head becomes heavy, and lead and weakness are spread throughout the body.

Stress - neurasthenia

In addition to the feeling of lead, some patients experience fatigue, problems with sleep, and loss of appetite. The person becomes irritable. All this is a sign of neurasthenia - a phenomenon not uncommon in our time.

Although technical progress, characteristic of the 21st century, and allowed to facilitate the physical activity of a person, he contributed to the development of stress on his mental component. Every day, a modern resident of the city is experiencing severe stress, both at work and on the way home.

The patient does not immediately discover a nervous breakdown. As a rule, it develops gradually. Accumulating, stress reduces physical and mental activity. A person begins to experience difficulties in performing seemingly simplest everyday affairs. He is worried about headaches and dizziness. The head is as if wadded, in the eyes of fog and dregs. It is difficult to comprehend and do something.

Neck Osteochondrosis

It would seem that lead in the skull and squeezing in the temples is a direct indicator of brain diseases, but this is misleading.

It turns out that these and similar symptoms occur in the degenerative disease of the discs located between the vertebrae.

Cervical osteochondrosis affects not only the head, but also the upper internal organs. With this disease, the spinal cord receives more damage, and it, in turn, sends painful impulses to other areas of the body with which it is connected by nerve endings( in other words - throughout the body).

In addition to opacity and severity in osteochondrosis, the patient feels a ringing in the ears, which can both subside and become worse. This phenomenon contributes to pinching of blood vessels that feed the brain. Disturbance of nutrition of neurons provokes auditory hallucinations, as well as:

• drowsiness;
• painful sensations in occiput and temples;
• impaired visual function;
• memory dips.

Due to the compression of the vertebrae causing a circulation failure in the brain, the patient feels not only heaviness and cloudiness, but also periodic dizziness. It, in turn, can be accompanied by perspiration, burning in the face, pain in the neck.

Allergic reaction

Unfortunately, not everyone is aware of all the pathogens that can cause this phenomenon in the body. Allergy is a malfunction in the functioning of immunity at the moment of human interaction with something or with someone. And it can happen at any time.

Swelling, swelling, stuffy nose and mucous membranes are not the only symptoms of an allergy. Often, this reaction in the body begins with the appearance of congestion and nebula in the brain.

Infectious lesions of

Penetration of the infection contributes to deterioration of well-being. Often this process is manifested through headache and impairment of visual function. The infection spreads in the body very quickly, which emphasizes the need for prompt medical intervention.

Injuries as a risk factor

Athletes and people whose work is associated with a permanent health risk are most exposed to this phenomenon. A bruise, a concussion and fracture - all this becomes the reason of arising unpleasant sensations. And before the appearance of these signs from the moment of trauma can pass a different period of time.

To be injured, do not necessarily have an accident. One sharp movement is sufficient, so that the discs in the vertebrae are displaced. This can happen, both in training and in public transport( with severe braking).A person will not immediately feel worse. Only gradually the heavier crown and the fog in the eyes will indicate a worsening of the blood flow.

Oxygen starvation

The reasons for this phenomenon can be many factors:

• alcohol consumption;
• smoking;
• getting an injury in the past;
• increase / decrease pressure;
• offset disks in the spine;
• and much more.

The essence is - in view of the compression of the channels, which supply the brain with oxygen, a gradual deterioration of the state of health occurs. In the eyes there is a fog, the body overcomes weakness, and the head becomes like a stone. A person feels better only in a supine position. Possible loss of consciousness.

Even an ordinary runny nose can contribute to this condition. Due to the blockage of the airways, the brain does not receive the proper dose of oxygen.

Degenerative changes in the spine of

This process affects people "at an age".Due to multiple changes, both in bone tissue and in the vascular system, the channels through which the brain is fed are overlapped.

How to diagnose?

The only and sure way to determine the cause of poor health is to see a doctor. As a rule, the patient is referred for examinations:

• taking tests;
• X-ray, CT, MRI;
• consultation of specialized specialists.

The purpose of other interventions depends on the severity and frequency of the symptoms. In most cases, the diagnosed cause of pressure, vitality and blurred vision are damage to the cervical vertebrae.

Complex of measures

Treatment, as it is easy to assume, directly depends on the diagnosis. If the disease is of a physical nature, then appropriate procedures and medications are prescribed. An important action in eliminating discomfort is restoration of blood flow to the brain. This is achieved by manual therapy. Also an effective way to normalize blood flow is osteopathy.

During treatment, the patient is restricted in physical activity, determines the nature of the manifestation of the disease( how often seizures occur, how long they last), after which a set of restorative procedures is prescribed.

Drug treatment is combined with the intake of vitamins. For a full recovery, the patient must abandon bad habits.

In case of appearance of lead and fog in the head against the background of a mental disorder, the patient is referred to a therapist.

A complex of treatment aimed at restoring the emotional background is prescribed. Excludes any activity. Sleep and appetite are restored.

From all of the above, it can be concluded that gravity, nebula, loss of attention - these are symptoms that can contribute to the emergence of both a minor innocuous factor and a serious illness.

To determine the nature of the disease, and to prescribe treatment, only a qualified specialist can. Do not try to normalize yourself, because it will only complicate things.

If the condition of the nebula and the stuffiness in the head is covered suddenly, then it is necessary to lie down / sit down on a chair. In no case should you continue to move.
