Q. I get headaches every weekend (caffeine withdrawal).

A.

It's highly likely that this is a "caffeine withdrawal headache," which occurs when your blood vessels dilate because you consume coffee during the week but stop on weekends. Alternatively, it could also be caused by the relaxation (vasodilation) of your blood vessels as the tension from your weekdays eases on the weekend.

📝 Detailed Answer

뇌가 카페인을 필요로 하여 보내는 신호입니다.

  • 해결: 커피를 한 잔 마시면 증상이 완화됩니다. 다만, 장기적으로는 평일 섭취량을 줄이는 것이 좋습니다.
  • 수면: 주말에 지나치게 늦잠을 자도 생체 리듬이 깨져 두통이 발생할 수 있습니다.
💡 줄이는 방법

갑자기 끊으면 힘들 수 있으니, 하루 3잔에서 2잔, 1잔 순으로 서서히 줄여나가세요.
