There are different types of headaches, each with its own characteristics and possible triggers.Tension headache – Because nearly all adults have experienced a tension headache at some point in their life, this type of headache is believed to be the most common type of headache. This headache is often described as a type of continual pain or pressure on both sides of the head and upper neck. Some people liken a tension headache to the feeling of having a tight band squeezed around their head. Tension headaches tend to affect people who are middle aged, during periods of high stress, anxiety, or depression. They can also be caused by incorrect posture and poor sleep habits.Migraine – Migraine headaches are not well understood by the medical community. They have many possible triggers including: hormone fluctuations, bright light, excitement, anxiety, loud noise, eye strain, too much or too little sleep, depression, strong odors, and certain foods. Migraines tend to affect women more often than men. Migraines can affect one or both sides of the head. Many people also experience nausea and sensitivity to light. Sinus headache – Sinus headaches occur when the sensitive membranes lining the sinuses become swollen, irritated, and inflamed. People suffering from a sinus headache may also experience pain that becomes worse with sudden head movements, pain and pressure around the eyes, and nasal discharge. One or both nostril airways may be blocked, and the affected part of the face may be sensitive to the touch. Sinus headaches may be caused by allergies (hay fever) or a respiratory infection.Cluster headaches – Cluster headaches typically affect men and may occur during seasonal changes. This type of headache occurs in a cycle, with multiple attacks throughout the day, and each cycle lasting several weeks. Cluster headache pain usually occurs on only one side of the head. Pain during a cluster attack can be excruciating. While the exact cause of cluster headaches is unknown, the primary nerve involved is the trigeminal nerve, the largest of the cranial nerves which is responsible for sensation in the face.Occipital headaches – Occipital (pronounced ox-SIP-it-all) headaches are frequently misdiagnosed. They occur when the occipital nerves at the top of the spine become irritated or damaged. This can result in pain in the upper neck, pain when turning the head from side to side, pain behind the eyes, light sensitivity, and pain at the base of the skull that is usually worse on one side. During an occipital headache, the back of the skull may be sensitive to the touch. This type of headache can be triggered by hormone changes and usually affect women more often than men. Occipital headaches can cause migraines and tension headaches.Rebound headaches – Rebound headaches are caused by overuse or incorrect use of headache medication. For this reason, they are sometimes referred to as medication overuse headaches (MOH). Rebound headaches can occur daily and begin very early in the morning. Other signs of rebound headaches include nausea, irritability, and depression.It is important to receive an accurate diagnosis from your doctor before seeking treatment.
