Hi, guest.
Regarding your chronic headaches that feel better while eating, it's difficult to determine the exact cause without more information. However, there are a few possibilities to consider:
1. Tension headaches: Tension headaches can be triggered or exacerbated by stress, anxiety, poor posture, or muscle tension. Eating might temporarily distract you from the discomfort and provide some relief. Practicing stress management techniques, maintaining good posture, and engaging in relaxation exercises may help manage tension headaches.
2. Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ): TMJ disorders involve problems with the muscles and joints that connect your jawbone to your skull. Eating might provide temporary relief because it distracts the jaw muscles and temporarily reduces tension. A dentist or healthcare professional specializing in TMJ disorders can evaluate your symptoms and provide appropriate treatment options.
3. Migraines: Migraines are severe headaches that can be triggered by various factors, including certain foods, stress, hormonal changes, or sensory stimuli. In some cases, eating may provide relief due to the release of certain neurotransmitters involved in pain modulation. Keeping a headache diary and identifying triggers can be helpful in managing migraines.
As for the liquid sounds in your neck, it's challenging to determine the exact cause without a medical evaluation. However, it's possible that the sounds could be related to muscle spasms or inflammation in the neck area. It may be beneficial to consult with a healthcare professional, such as a neurologist or an ENT (ear, nose, and throat) specialist, to investigate further.
Since you mentioned that these symptoms started after having COVID-19, it's important to communicate this to your healthcare provider, as post-COVID symptoms can manifest in various ways and may require specific attention.
Good luck!
