Five Common Types of Headaches

Headaches can occur due to stress, colds, and dehydration. Some common headaches include:

• Tension Headaches: These headaches feel as if a tight band is wrapped around your head and cause pain on both sides of the head. They can develop from stress, eye strain, or fatigue.
• Migraine Headaches: Headaches often cause intense pain on one side of the head and can make simple tasks challenging. Migraines can also lead to nausea, vomiting, and blurry vision.
• Sinus Headaches: Most commonly associated with colds or having sinus congestion issues, these headaches can be painful but are typically short-lived.
• Exertion Headaches: These headaches often occur after strenuous physical activity, such as running or heavy lifting.
• Hypertension Headaches: Hypertension headaches are associated with high blood pressure. Symptoms of hypertension headaches include pulsing on either or both sides of the head, shortness of breath, and chest pain.
