There are 300 kinds of headaches, and even with a lot of overlap in headache types, there are many different reasons they occur. A headache is essentially pain signals within your head nerves, and many different things can trigger those signals. Just a few of the most common triggers include:
Some men and women have occasional headaches that resolve without problems, but many others have frequent, difficult headaches. Types of headaches that are particularly common causes of chronic pain include migraine headaches and cluster headaches.
A migraine is a severe throbbing headache that usually affects just one side of your head. It may last anywhere from a few hours to several days or more.
Pain is often just one of the symptoms, as many migraines cause nausea, dizziness, light sensitivity, and sound sensitivity. Some migraine sufferers experience visual auras, which can include sparkling, strobing, or shimmering lights. In some cases, visual auras appear shortly before the migraine, working as a kind of warning sign.
Migraines are often completely overwhelming. They’re not the kind of headaches you can really power through, so regular migraines require a specific treatment approach.
Another kind of headache that’s often mistaken for migraines is a cluster headache. This kind of headache causes similarly intense pain, but generally with a shorter duration. Cluster headaches happen in cluster periods, appearing daily for weeks or months.
Pain Solutions offers effective treatment for chronic headache pain, including migraines and cluster headaches.
