Can a cold caused by wind-cold lead to headaches?
Wind-cold colds can cause pain. Because the pathogenic factor of wind-cold easily invades certain areas on the top of the head, and "wind evil is the chief among all diseases," it can bring along the cold pathogen, easily invade the head, and then lead to blockages in some meridians, cold coagulation and blood stasis, resulting in obstructed vessels and malnourishment of vessels, thus causing headaches. Generally, at this time, if there is a headache, the pain will intensify after being exposed to wind-cold, so it is crucial to keep warm and avoid excessive exposure to the pathogenic wind-cold. Sometimes, after long exposure to the pathogenic wind-cold, one might also experience some heat symptoms, presenting symptoms of wind-heat, mixed with heat and dampness, causing headaches. If it is mixed with dampness, the headache will be more oppressive, which is a symptom that appears after the spread of a wind-cold cold.
