Headache

A headache is a common condition that causes pain or discomfort in the head, scalp, or neck. It can range from mild to severe and may be occasional or chronic. Headaches can result from various factors, including stress, dehydration, underlying medical conditions, or lifestyle habits.


Common Causes of Headaches:
  • Tension & Stress – Emotional stress and muscle tension are leading triggers.
  • Dehydration – Lack of fluids in the body can lead to headaches.
  • Poor Posture – Sitting for long hours with improper posture can strain neck muscles.
  • Lack of Sleep – Inadequate rest disrupts brain function and may cause headaches.
  • Hormonal Changes – Common in women due to menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or menopause.
  • Certain Foods & Drinks – Processed foods, caffeine, and alcohol can be triggers.
  • Medical Conditions – Sinus infections, migraines, and high blood pressure may contribute.
Symptoms of Headaches:
  • Dull, throbbing, or sharp pain in different areas of the head
  • Sensitivity to light and sound
  • Nausea or dizziness (common in migraines)
  • Pressure in the forehead or behind the eyes
  • Neck or shoulder tension
Headache Treatment Options:
  • Medications – Over-the-counter pain relievers (e.g., ibuprofen, acetaminophen) or prescription drugs for migraines.
  • Hydration & Nutrition – Drinking enough water and avoiding trigger foods.
  • Relaxation Techniques – Meditation, deep breathing, and stress management help reduce tension headaches.
  • Physical Therapy & Massage – Helps relieve muscle tension in the neck and shoulders.
  • Cold or Warm Compress – Aids in soothing pain and reducing inflammation.
