My brain is too big!

Sometimes I get bad headaches and start seeing random black spots throughout the day. I recently went to the doctor for a regular check-up and mentioned that I see black spots and sometimes get dizzy. He asked me to lay down, so he could feel my neck muscles and he responded, “They are hard as a rock!” He mentioned that this can happen from constantly sitting with the head slightly looking down, such as sitting in class taking notes or working on the computer. I came home with a really bad headache yesterday, after seven hours of being at school, either at work or in class. My doctor mentioned that when this happens, I should massage my neck muscles with lotion. So, I did! It felt so good! It released so much tension, even though I didn’t really feel that I had much in my shoulders, it was more of the headache. He also mentioned an exercise that can help relieve some of the tension. When you lay down, push your head down into your pillow for five seconds, then move your head in each direction five times. Do this a couple times before you go to sleep and when you wake up. It helps! Basically, if you suffer from neck tension or have been having the problem of seeing black spots, these tips could help! :)

Oh, and I was just kidding about my brain being too big! It’s probably getting bigger this week with all the cramming for exams! Only two more to go. :)
