Headache is
becoming very common among all of us due to highly technical, busy daily
schedule. Long hours on computer, stress and tension all triggers headache.
Although most headaches are mild and temporary, but some people have headaches
that are so severe they need to consult a doctor for pain relief.
Main causes for headache:
-
Prolonged tension or stress,
known as tension headaches
-
Migraine is especially triggered due to hormonal
changes, certain foods, strong odors, lack of sleep and even stress.
-
Eyestrain
-
Smoking
-
Light sensitivity
-
Sitting constantly in an abnormal position.
-
Sinus headaches can occur after upper respiratory
infections such as a cold.
-
Cluster headaches are a relatively uncommon type of headache. They tend to occur in clusters over a few days, weeks or months with
long headache-free periods lasting from months to years.
Although headaches can be painful and
debilitating, they are usually not due to dangerous conditions. However, occasionally headaches can be a sign of something more
serious.
