Types of Headaches and Migraines

Additionally, there's a world of complexities surrounding these conditions, making it difficult to know what is causing your migraine/headache or even if you are suffering one at all.

Not All Headaches Are the Same

Some people might assume headaches are all the same. There are several distinct types, however, each with potentially unique characteristics and causes. Some types include:

•             Tension headaches: Tension headaches create an aching sensation around the head due to tension in the muscles in neck and head.

•             Migraines: Characterized by intense throbbing pain, often on one side of the head, migraines may also involve nausea, light sensitivity, and sound sensitivity. Triggers can vary but may include hormonal changes, certain lights and sounds, and certain foods.

•             Cluster headaches: These are less common but can be incredibly severe. These types of headaches come in periods or "clusters" of excruciating pain.

•             Allergy-related headaches: These headaches can occur as a reaction to allergens like dust, pollen, or food sensitivities. Symptoms may include congestion, head pain, and facial pressure.

Lifestyle Plays a Big Role

Addressing lifestyle can be important key for treating your condition. You can take steps such as keeping regular sleep patterns, drinking enough water, managing stress, and more might be able to help reduce headache frequency and severity.
