London: Restlessness due to spending hours hunched over a computer screen and not getting enough sleep could cause migraines, headache specialist nurse Vicky Quarshie said on Saturday.
The Daily Mail reported quoting the specialist that the pressures of recent lifestyle could be as damaging as bad dietary.
A migraine attack lasting between four to 72 hours may cause visual disturbances, dizziness, nausea and sensitivity to light and sound, mostly affecting people between ages of 30 and 50.
She said that skipping meals as well as supermarket shopping and gym workouts late at night could bring on a migraine but paying attention to lifestyle could prevent attacks.
She further said that hunching over computers, laptops and gaming consoles could lead to muscle tension, neck and back pain which may spark an attack.
Children were at risk by carrying a school bag weighed down with books and PE kit over one shoulder, while modern laptops encouraged poor posture with the same effect.
She recommended a 20 minute pre-bedtime routine of simple exercises like toe wriggling to ensure a good night’s sleep.
