Headaches. We've all experienced them. But did you know there are many different types? Understanding which one you're dealing with can help you find the right relief. Let's break down some common culprits.
**Tension Headaches:** The most common type, often described as a tight band around your head. Stress and muscle tension are often to blame.
**Migraines:** More than just a headache, migraines can include throbbing pain, nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and visual disturbances (aura).
**Cluster Headaches:** Intense, piercing pain usually located around one eye, often accompanied by nasal congestion or a runny nose. These come in clusters, occurring multiple times a day for weeks or months.
**Sinus Headaches:** Often mistaken for migraines, sinus headaches are associated with sinus infections and inflammation. They're characterized by pain and pressure in the face.
**Caffeine-Related Headaches:** Too much or too little caffeine can trigger a headache. Moderation is key!
Knowing your headache type is the first step to managing them. If your headaches are frequent or severe, consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
