Does cerebral anemia cause headaches?

Headaches are a common symptom and can be due to many causes such as insomnia, stress, vestibular disorders, weather changes, abuse of alcohol, coffee, stimulants… If headaches appear repeatedly, accompanied by dizziness, heavy head, decreased concentration, it can be a sign of cerebral anemia.

Cerebral ischemia occurs when blood flow to the brain is reduced, causing nerve cells to not receive enough oxygen, glucose and nutrients needed to function normally. Headaches due to cerebral ischemia are initially just throbbing in the head area, then spread throughout the head, causing pain or aching, heavy head. Patients have a feeling of heavy head when moving or when having to think a lot.

Atherosclerosis is one of the leading causes of cerebral anemia. This condition occurs when increased free radicals cause dysfunction and damage to the vascular endothelium. LDL-cholesterol penetrates the vessel wall, leading to atherosclerosis, narrowing the vessel lumen and hindering blood flow to the brain.

Diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia can also damage blood vessel walls, reducing the amount of blood that nourishes the brain over time, increasing the risk of cerebral anemia and headaches.

To prevent headaches caused by cerebral ischemia, you should build a scientific lifestyle, control stress, and get enough sleep. If headaches appear frequently, do not reduce with regular painkillers, or are accompanied by symptoms such as dizziness, numbness in limbs, or blurred vision, you should see a doctor to diagnose the cause and receive appropriate treatment.

You can consider regularly supplementing a duo of natural essences from blueberry and ginkgo biloba to help neutralize free radicals and reduce headaches caused by cerebral ischemia. These active ingredients are rich in anti-free radicals such as anthocyanin and pterostilbene, which contribute to vasodilation, reducing inflammatory reactions, protecting vessel walls and increasing blood flow to the brain.
