Do you suffer from headaches? 5 main causes that are commonly seen
Headaches can often be a symptom of many other diseases. Their causes also vary depending on the nature of the headache. The main causes are:
Mental stress and tension (Tension Headache): This is the most common cause of headaches. Due to workload, anxiety, and lack of sleep, the muscles in the head and neck tighten, causing severe pressure and pain on both sides of the forehead.
Migraine: This is a chronic severe pain that is felt on only one side of the head. Migraine can be accompanied by sensitivity to light and sound and vomiting. The main cause is changes in the blood vessels in the brain.
Sinusitis: When the air cavities around the nose (Sinuses) become infected or swollen, you may experience severe pain in the face and forehead. Sinus headaches are characterized by pain that worsens when the head is tilted.
Eye strain: Looking at a computer or mobile phone for a long time, vision problems, and ill-fitting glasses can cause headaches. This usually occurs more in the evening.
Physical causes: Dehydration, not eating on time (low blood sugar), excessive tea/coffee consumption or sudden cessation of them can also lead to headaches.
