I am getting headache during winter, what should I do?

Hello, I am getting headache during winter, what should I do? From cluster headaches to winter migraines and even sinus headaches, it may feel like the frequency of all kinds of headaches reaches a new peak during the winter season. We’re often told by elders to keep our head and neck covered during this harsh season - but does this practice have more benefits than just keeping us warm and cozy?

@anushtup Research shows that headaches become more common in the winter season as cold temperatures and short sunshine duration can alter the atmospheric (barometric) pressure. This change in pressure can cause haemodynamic (internal blood pressure mechanism) changes in the body, leading to headaches or migraines. Also, the chilly winter winds can constrict the nerves and blood vessels in the brain, which can also lead to headaches. Following are some simple tips to keep in mind during the winter season to avoid frequent headaches:
Cover your head and neck with proper winter clothing before stepping out on a cold day.
Keep your neck and shoulder muscles relaxed for proper blood circulation. If you feel tense, try massaging, stretching the muscles and doing gentle circular movements of the neck.
Get eight good hours (at a stretch) of sleep regularly. Also, try to maintain a sleep pattern by sleeping and waking up at the same time every night.
Keep the room warm by using a radiator. You can also use a humidifier if you feel your room isn’t humid enough.
