FTENSION headaches are one of the most common forms of headaches. They may
occur at any age, but are most common in adults and adolescents. Tension
headaches occur when neck and scalp muscles become tense or contract.
Overcoming depression
QUR’AN
AHADITH
In the Sahihain it is narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)
said: “There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, the most Great, the most
Forbearing. There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, the Lord of the
Mighty Throne. There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, the Lord of
seven Heavens, the Lord of the earth and the Lord of the Honorable Throne.”
“This is the supplication of those afflicted by distress, ‘O Allah! I seek your mercy.
Do not make me reliant on myself for an instant, and lead all my affairs to
success, there is no deity except You.”
The headache pain in tension may be described as:
· Worse in the scalp, temples, or back of the neck, and possibly in the
shoulders.
· The pain may occur as an isolated event, constantly, or daily. Pain may last
for 30 minutes to 7 days. It may be triggered by or get worse with stress, fatigue,
noise or incessant glare.
People with tension headaches tend to try to relieve pain by massaging their
scalp, temples, or the bottom of the neck.
The health care provider should be consulted – to rule out other disorders – if the
headache is severe, persistent (does not go away), or if other symptoms are
present with the headache.
Headaches that disturb sleep occur whenever one is active, or that are recurrent
or chronic may require examination and treatment by a health-care provider.
Hot or cold showers or baths may relieve a headache for some people.
Over-the-counter painkillers such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or acetaminophen may
relieve pain if relaxation techniques do not work. If one is planning to take part in
an activity that you know will trigger a headache, taking one of these painkillers
beforehand may be helpful.
Prevention
Learn and practice stress management. Some people find relaxation exercises or
meditation helpful.
Useful tips
Like everyone else, Muslims experience depression. The Qur’an and various
Ahadith offer prescriptions for the treatment of depression.
Enriching one’s Islamic faith, admitting responsibility for harming others, and
acknowledging reality are primary ways that Muslims are encouraged to find help
with the difficulties of depression. Essentially, Islamic recommendations for
depression are derived from the Qur’an.
Remedies
“If any person suffers from a calamity and says Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un
(To Allah we belong and to Allah we will all return). O Allah reward me for this
affliction and bless me with something better in return, then Allah in His Power
and Glory will grant him relief.
These du’as and verses from Qur’an that aid us in adversity are like prescriptions,
insha’Allah, for the emotional sickness and turmoil we are experiencing.
