Headache from being on the computer?

Question

A lot of times lately I get a headache when I'm on the computer. Sometimes its after a long time but others its right away. I have bad allergies and the air outside bothers me same with the heat here in Phoenix. Does anyone have any suggestions why it might bother me or how to fix it?

Answer 1

You may need glasses or if you already wear them, perhaps you need a change in your prescription.  Other than that, it might be eye strain.  Spending too much time on the pc without breaks is very bad for your eyes (and posture) and can definitely cause those tension type headaches.  You need to walk away for a short 5 minute break for every hour that you are on the computer.  Also, if your allergies are really bothering you, your symptoms will definitely be exacerbated.  Try taking an anti-histamine (if you don't already do so).  I hope you find resolution to this soon...Good luck!
