What is Headache and Migraine ?
Headaches and migraines can cast a shadow over even the brightest days. Whether it’s a nagging tension headache or a debilitating migraine that leaves you feeling trapped, we’re here to help you reclaim your life. Understanding your pain is the first step to finding relief.
Types of Headaches
Headaches can be categorized into types such as tension headaches, which cause dull pain from stress, and migraines, characterized by severe throbbing and nausea. Cluster headaches involve intense pain around the eye, while sinus headaches are linked to sinus pressure and infection.
Tension Headaches
Imagine a tight band squeezing your head. That’s often what tension headaches feel like. Triggered by stress, poor posture, or muscle strain, they can be bothersome but usually respond well to lifestyle adjustments and over-the-counter remedies.
Cluster Headaches
Picture sudden, excruciating pain on one side of your head, often accompanied by watering eyes or nasal congestion. Cluster headaches come in waves, striking intensely but for shorter durations. They require specialized care to help ease the burden.
Migraines
For many, migraines are a storm—intense, pulsing pain accompanied by nausea and sensitivity to light and sound. These attacks can last for hours or even days, often requiring a tailored approach to management. Understanding your unique triggers is key to prevention.
Sinus Headaches
When sinus pressure builds up, it can lead to pain in your forehead, cheeks, and around the eyes. Understanding the root cause is essential for effective treatment.
