10. Reduce Stress Levels
If the frequency of exploding head episodes increases as stress levels increase, it's important to find ways to relieve anxiety. Yoga and meditation are popular ways to relax. A doctor may also recommend counseling or therapy to help patients in some extreme cases.
However, as the symptoms are painless and harmless and will usually go away naturally, many people find a simple change of lifestyle is the only treatment they need to prevent further episodes of exploding head syndrome.
