For many Americans, headaches are a frequent occurrence. And though headaches are fairly common and don't always require medical attention, they can feel incredibly debilitating. Want to find out what type of headache you're dealing with and when it's time to seek help? Keep watching!
TENSION HEADACHES
This type of headache is characterized by an aching sensation that is not localized in any particular area of the head. These types of headaches often occur alongside scalp, shoulder, or forehead and may result in neck pain. A tension headache is often brought on by stress. It can be relieved with common over the counter pain relievers when they occur on an occasional basis. Those who experience these types of headaches on a frequent basis should consider exploring professional solutions for pain management.
CLUSTER HEADACHES
This type of headache involves a burning sensation or piercing discomfort. They are localized, and usually center behind the eye or one side of the face. The side of the face that is affected might also exhibit physical symptoms like nasal congestion, teary eyes, redness, flushed skin, inflammation, or sweating. Cluster headaches will go away and come back throughout the day, lasting from periods of 15 minutes to a few hours at a time. When they are recurring, people will usually experience a headache at the same time each day, which will recur one to four times before disappearing completely.
MIGRAINE HEADACHES
Migraines are infamous for producing a deeply uncomfortable pulsing and throbbing that is typically centered on one side of the head. Not everybody experiences migraines, but those who do will often have to put their day-to-day lives on hold for multiple days on end. Light and sound sensitivity is common, as is nausea. While it's unclear why only some people get migraines, it is known that they tend to pass down through families and are more common in those with existing nervous system conditions. They are more common in women than in men. Some sufferers will report visual disturbances like flashing lights or the appearance of lines before the onset of symptoms. Others might experience strange sensations like tingling on the side of their face and might even have difficulty forming words or talking.
SINUS HEADACHES
Sinus headaches are similar to and can also be referred to as allergy headaches, since they can sometimes be triggered by an allergy. A sinus headache is recognizable by the uncomfortable sensations that they produce in the sinuses around the front of the head and nose. They can also be a common side effect of a sinus infection, which can be treated by antibiotics. However, those with allergies and who are prone to sinus issues may experience these types of headaches on a frequent basis.
