About Headaches

Headaches are one of the most common health concerns and can range from mild discomfort to severe, disruptive pain. They may occur occasionally or become a frequent issue that affects your daily life.

 

Common types of headaches include:

Tension headaches

often feel like a tight band around the head

Migraines

can cause throbbing pain, nausea, and sensitivity to light or sound

Sinus headaches

associated with sinus pressure, congestion, and facial pain

Headaches can be triggered by a variety of factors, including stress, dehydration, lack of sleep, screen time, hormonal changes, or underlying illness.
