Us it true that sleeping in a draught can give you a stiff neck?
Question:
Answers:
The draught thing is indeed an old wives tale. It may however be a positional issue, while you were asleep.
well i heard of a guy being arested for sticking out his you know what out of the bus window ,to just get a stiff *****
True. I used to sleep with the bedroom window open and always had a stiff neck. You could be sat funny over your computer and that will also give you a stiff neck. I've always gotta stiff neck and shoulders these days! lol:)-
I felt cold in a store where the AC was on very high, I had a stff neck for two days. Whenever your neck muscles undergo cold conditions, they get stiff.
no its true when you sleep you sweat and getting cold then hot can lead also to you getting a head cold
Yes I think so as I get it too.
I don't think so cos it makes sense that you're muscles would tense up in the cold. But maybe you just slept funny. Take some ibuprofen, that should help.
Only if your muscles are getting too chilled for your body to take care of (never seen it)
if the info below doesnot help try resveratrol
Below is the answer I gave for headaches - yours can also start as far away as your back and include neck muscles as well as shoulders and arms. In the hot water of the shower apply moving pressure to the area that are tender lengthwise to help get the muscles to lighten up *start with a massage if you can it will give you a jump start on getting better,
First thing is water - the head of neurology at UCDavis explained (when my husband went to him about 10 years ago for migraines) that running a body low on water is like running a car low on oil. Things are going to go seriously wrong.
Because the amount of water we should drink was figured out so long ago a more modern way to base the non sugars (even the substitutes - because sugar increases pain, weight and decreased absorption) drinks is : water = your body weight divided by 2 times ounces daily.
Many times your muscles will be tight starting as far away as your rump, up your back, shoulders, neck and head. Muscles are like ropes with many different strands or fibers in them - the individual fibers can (if they are not relaxing properly) bulk up in the middle and stretch more thinly on the ends giving the description of a "knot".
On your head in your hair stratch lightly - you are likely to find tender spots these are knots - do this occasionaly until they go away. A good massage is well worth it.
My chiropractor (who uses an activator instead of manual manipulation) has spots he can hit to help lighten headaches up.
Natural muscle relaxers because they both contain magnisium (that regulates many things in the body) and potassium (which you can sweat out) are bananas and a swig or two of molasses. The only side effect is the runs if you have too much.
Eating correctly - fruits, vegies and LEAN meats are best.
