Not All Headaches Are Created Equal
From tension headaches to migraines and cluster headaches, although they all result in a headache they can vary in terms of severity and what causes them.
Tension headaches are perhaps the most common type of headache and are often a result of stress.
Migraines are often chronic and can last for days at a time, they are considered a more severe type of headache that can be triggered by environmental factors.
Named cluster headaches because they can manifest in clusters, occurring during a period of time before vanishing again for months, they are also considered one of the most painful types of headaches.
Headaches are not restricted to the types mentioned above, they could be caused by dental problems like teeth clenching or TMJ, perhaps a sinus infection, or rarely, a severe brain condition. Let a visit to your doctor take the guessing work out of your headache.
Posture is Important
A bad posture, especially if you sit at a desk for many hours, can put extra stress on your neck and could lead to vertebra misalignment, a common cause of recurring headaches.
Painkillers Can Help
Over-the-counter painkillers can certainly help with headaches but you should be wary if you find yourself over-relying on them. They do not address the source of the problem, they provide only temporary relief for passing headaches, and taking too much of them can have adverse health reactions.
