Why do we sometimes feel burdened?

A person's head weighs several pounds, including the skull, brain tissue, and other organs. And, sometimes, keeping the head balanced on the body sometimes we feel it's quite a heavy task.

According to the International Journal of Surgical Technology, in normal or upright positions, the average adult's head weighs between 10 and 12 pounds (5 to 6 kg). However, there are cases when the head may be heavier than usual.

Usually, if your head feels heavy, you don't need emergency medical treatment.

Some balance disorders make us feel heavy head.

What are the causes?

Some underlying causes that make the head feel heavy include:

1. Balance disorders

Dizziness and dizziness affecting the balance can make the head feel heavier. These symptoms may also be balance disorders.

Some types of balance disorders exist: Meniere's disease; Dizzy; Vestibular neuritis.

Each disorder can make a person feel as if their head is heavier than normal.

2. Infarction

An infarction (MG) is a condition that causes muscles to become weaker than normal. Early symptoms can cause weakness and fatigue in the neck muscles.

MG can make previously simple things like chewing, talking, or raising head up more difficult. These symptoms are known as diaphragmatic symptoms of depression.

3. Poor posture

According to international surgical technology, if the neck and head are tilted forward about 15 degrees, the head can feel like it weighs 27 pounds (approximately 13kg). At an angle of 60 degrees, the equivalent of looking down at the ground, the head can feel like it weighs 60 pounds (approximately 30kg).

If someone feels that their head is heavy, they should review whether such a head position is appropriate. Wrong posture, so that the head is not in an average or vertical position can make the head feel especially heavy.

4. Sinus headache

Sinus headaches can cause pain and pressure that make the head feel heavy. People feel headache when the sinuses in front of the face are swollen.

Bacteria and viruses can get stuck inside the sinus passages, leading to swelling, yellow bleeding, and nasal congestion.

5. Tension headache

Tension headache is an unusual type of headache. Headaches cause the pain that you feel as if your head is being pressured by some pressure.

This type of headache can also cause tension in the muscles and neck, making the head feel as though it is heavier than usual. A person with a tension headache will usually feel it anywhere from about 20 minutes to 2 hours.

Treatment options

If someone's head feels heavy due to the wrong posture, it is important that they try to rest and relax and should refrain from looking down as much as possible. This may include resting, relaxing more often when typing, texting, or trying to hold your neck and maintaining it in an average position.

If a person with a headache makes their head feel bad, they can take over-the-counter pain medications. Examples of medications include acetaminophen, ibuprofen and naproxen.

People should also try and identify what causes their stress headache. For example, being hungry, not getting enough sleep, or grinding your teeth at night. Avoiding these habits and, if necessary, treating to eliminate them, doing so can help a person relieve tension headaches.

Balancing disorders should see a doctor for drug treatment, which may include:

• Anticholinergics : These drugs include scopolamine, commonly used to treat seasickness.
• Antiemetics : These medications treat nausea that a person may experience due to dizziness. Examples may include dexamethasone (Decadron) and ondansetron (Zofran).
• Antihistamines : These drugs can reduce the effects of motion sickness. Examples of treatments include meclizine (Antivert), diphenhydramine (Benadryl), and promethazine (Phenergan). Benzodiazepine:

These medications are designed to reduce anxiety as well as control movement and dizziness. Examples of benzodiazepines used to treat vertigo include diazepam (Valium), clonazepam (Klonopin), and alprazolam (Xanax).

Other treatments for balance disorders include exercises to reduce vertigo. An example is the Epley movement, which helps to reduce the impact of vertigo related to the inner ear.
