Types of Headaches
Common types of Headaches:
- Sinus Headache
- Migraine Headache
- Tension Headache
- Hormone Headache
- Cluster Headache
- Exertion Headache
Sinus Headache
Sinus headache occurs when the sinus cavity is inflamed and filled with nasal discharges due to allergies, illness, or chronic cold. Often the pain felt in the cheekbones, forehead, or bridge of the nose. The pain often increases with sudden head movements and occurs with other sinus symptoms, like nasal discharge, fever, and facial swelling.
Migraine Headache
Migraines are related to blood vessel contractions and other brain changes, and they’re often triggered by environmental factors like weather changes, stress, or sleep deprivation. They can last as little as 30 minutes or up to several days.
Migraine symptoms: Migraines can cause throbbing pain on one side or both sides of the head (right or left), dizziness, nausea or vomiting, fatigue, and light, noise, or smell sensitivity.
Migraines may be preceded by visual disturbances, such as halos, flashing lights, zigzag lines, or blind spots.
- Migraine might run in your family, or the condition can be associated with other nervous system conditions.
Common migraine triggers include environmental factors, such as:
- sleep disruption
- dehydration
- skipped meals
- some foods
- hormone fluctuations
- exposure to chemicals
Tension Headache
In tension headache, you may feel a dull, aching sensation all over your head. Tenderness or sensitivity around your neck, forehead, scalp, or shoulder muscles also might occur.
Anyone can get a tension headache. Stress often triggers them.
Cluster Headache
Cluster headache often occur with severe burning and piercing pain. They occur around or behind one eye or on one side of the face at a time. Symptoms may include:
- swelling, redness, flushing, and sweating on the side that’s affected by the headache
- nasal congestion and eye tearing on the same side as the headache
These headaches occur in a series. During a cluster, people may experience headaches anywhere from every alternate day to 5-6 times a week, usually around the same time each day. After one headache resolves, another will soon follow.
Hormone Headache
Women who menstruate may experience headaches that are linked to hormonal fluctuations. Menstruation, using birth control pills, and pregnancy, all affect estrogen levels, which can cause a headache.
Those headaches associated with the menstrual cycle are also known as menstrual headaches.
Exertion Headache
Exertion headaches happen quickly after periods of intense physical activity. Weightlifting, running, and sexual intercourse are all common triggers for an exertion headache. It’s thought that these activities cause increased blood flow to your skull, leading to a throbbing headache on both sides of your head.
