What is Headaches?
Headaches are defined as a pain that one can feel in the head, scalp, or neck. Their intensity, duration, and causes can differ greatly from mild tension headaches to severe migraines. In general headaches are triggered by stress, dehydration, sleep deprivation, eye strain, and in some cases food or medications.
Certain headaches like sinus or cluster headaches can be caused by certain medical conditions. Most headaches can be treated with some rest and hydration or even over the counter pain relievers but more severe and longer lasting headaches usually need a doctor's help to rule out more serious conditions.
Types of Headaches
There are several types of headaches, each with different causes and symptoms. The main types include:
Tension Headaches
The most common type, causing dull, aching pain around the forehead, temples, or back of the head, often due to stress or muscle tension.
Migraine Headaches
Intense, throbbing pain, usually on one side of the head, accompanied by nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and sometimes visual disturbances (aura).
Cluster Headaches
Severe, stabbing pain around one eye or temple, occurring in clusters over weeks or months, often accompanied by redness, tearing, and nasal congestion.
Sinus Headaches
Caused by sinus infections, leading to deep, constant pain in the forehead, cheeks, or nose, often with nasal congestion and facial pressure.
Exertional Headaches
Triggered by physical activity like running or lifting heavy objects, causing short-term, throbbing pain.
Hormonal Headaches
Related to hormonal changes, such as during menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause.
Caffeine Headaches
Occur due to caffeine withdrawal or excessive caffeine intake.
Rebound Headaches
Result from overuse of pain medications, leading to persistent, dull pain.

- Hormonal Changes – Fluctuations in estrogen levels, such as during menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause, can cause headaches.
