Head Pain The 5 Kinds of Headaches



It is very difficult to identify as to which kind of headache a person is suffering from. The five kinds of headaches are sinus headache, tension headache, rebound tension, migraine headache or cluster headache. If one could identify what kind of headache he or she is going through then the right treatment could be prescribed.

In one of the study of 2004, eighty percent of the patients with the current history regarding doctor diagnosed or self described sinus headache were noted, however not even one signs of the sinus infection was seen, generally it matched to criteria for the migraine. And about 2/3rd of these victims expressed their dissatisfaction regarding the medications which were prescribed to them.

The most usual kind of headache is tension headache, here you feel a continuous pressure or ache around your head, particularly at the back and temples of the neck and head. But it is not as severe like the migraines headache, they aren't normally accompanied by vomiting and nausea and they hardly prohibit anyone from doing their normal activities. Without a prescription medications, like acetaminophen (Tylenol), aspirin or ibuprofen are normally sufficient enough to treat your tension headaches, and the experts believe that this might have been caused due to the contraction of scalp muscles and neck and probably alteration in the brain chemicals.

The next kind of headache is cluster headache which affects men more frequent than women, is returning headache which occur in cycles or group. These headaches occur suddenly and are considered as incapacitating and serious pain and it occurs on 1 side of head and is frequently accompanied by nasal congestion and watery eye and might have running nose as well. When you suffer from this headache, you are frequently restless as well as are uncomfortable. As to why the cluster headache is caused is still not known.

There's no cure, however treatments could decline the duration and frequency of the attacks.

The third kind is sinus headache. When the sinus turns to be inflamed, normally through the infection, then it could cause pain. It generally comes with the fever and if necessary, could be diagnosed with the help of CT scan or MRI scan. This type of headache which is caused because of sinus problem could be treated with the help of antibiotics and decongestants or antihistamines.

The fourth one is migraine headache. This arises because of neurological disorder which could run in your families. This is one of the worst headaches that anyone would have come across. Migraines could immobilize people for some days and also for weeks. In short, it means that the migraine patients undergo a non productivity period as for intense pain as well as sharp sensitivity to the light.

The last is rebound headache. Due to the over utilization of the painkillers because of headaches could paradoxically lead to the rebound headache. The culprits include without a prescription treatments such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen or aspirin.
