Foods high in sodium are notorious culprits, but different types of medication have come into sharp focus too.
Those susceptible to suffering may be advised to manage their pain differently, and myriad options exist.
Miss Guerrini explained: “Paracetamol shouldn’t be the first port of call for pain relief, as there are many other steps that you can take to try and relieve your pain.
“Firstly, speak to your GP to see whether the pain that you’re experiencing needs to be investigated further, your GP may offer you medication that you can’t purchase over the counter, or may in fact tell you that you don’t need any medication.
“Also, mind-body therapies such as hypnosis, keeping a diary and yoga are all viable strategies to manage pain.
