Headaches come in various forms, and identifying the type you’re experiencing is the first step toward relief. Here are some common types:

Tension Headaches:

• Tension headaches often feel like a tight band around your head, causing mild to moderate pain. While their exact causes aren’t fully understood, they can be managed with healthy habits and, if necessary, medication. Symptoms include a dull, aching head pain, tightness or pressure across the forehead, and tenderness in the scalp, neck, and shoulders.

Cluster Headaches:

• Cluster headaches typically involve one-sided pain with a burning or piercing sensation, often located behind the eyes. They can last up to two hours and may occur several times throughout the day.

Sinus Headaches:

• Sinus headaches are characterized by constant pain deep in the cheekbones, forehead, or the bridge of the nose. They are often accompanied by nasal discharge, fever, and facial swelling.

Migraines:

• Migraines are known for causing moderate to intense pain, usually on one side of the head. They often come with nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light, loss of appetite, fatigue, or dizziness. You can find relief by applying a cool, damp cloth to your face while resting in a dark room.
