Headaches are something that affect many people, and although the vast majority of the time they are not serious, they can be a problem if you experience them frequently, and this can be uncomfortable and also disruptive to your lifestyle.
Understanding common types of headaches and the cause of them can help you to find suitable treatment for them too. Here are some of the common different types of headaches…
Migraine – A migraine is more than a headache – it can be a very intense pain and can also have other physical symptoms such as visual disturbances (known as migraine with aura) as well as nausea and sensitivity to light. Sometimes the cause of a migraine is not well known – things that may help can be dietary changes, reducing stress and treatment by a professional like this acupuncture Evesham based clinic purelandsacu.co.uk/acupuncture-evesham/
Tension Headaches
These are probably the most common type of headache. They usually feel like a dull ache on both sides of the head and also, they can come with a feeling of pressure at the backs of the eyes. If you work in an office job, this is likely a type of headache that you have experienced and is caused by poor posture and eye strain. Make sure that you take a regular break from the screen to help avoid having this type of headache.
Sinus Headaches
This is a type of headache that is caused when the sinuses become inflamed and can cause a throbbing type of pain in the forehead, cheeks and around the nose. If you have a cold or have recently had one, or you are suffering from an allergy like hay fever, then treating this can help to relieve the headache.
