HEADACHES
Headache is defined as pain in the
head that is located above the eyes or the ears, behind the head (occipital), or in the back of
the upper neck. Headache, like chest pain or dizziness, has many causes.
TYPES OF HEADACHES
There are two types of headaches :
primary headaches and secondary headaches. Primary headaches are not associated with (caused by)
other diseases. Examples of primary headaches are migraine headaches, tension headaches, and
cluster headaches. Secondary headaches are caused by associated disease. The associated disease
may be minor or serious and life threatening.
CAUSES OF HEADACHES
Tension headaches are caused by
stress, muscular tension, vascular dilation, postural changes, protracted coughing or sneezing,
and fever. Physical and mental conditions that can lead to chronic muscular tension and headache
include :
- Anxiety
- Arthritis in neck or spine
- Degenerative bone or disk disease in the neck or spine
- Depression
- Temporomandibular joint disorders
There are several well-known
triggers associated with cluster headaches, including drugs that dilate or constrict blood
vessels and alcohol. This suggests that changes in the walls of blood vessels in the head may
be partly responsible.
Some researchers believe
that a low level of endorphins may cause frequent, severe, or chronic headache pain. Endorphins
are painkilling compounds found in the brain.
