If you suffer from chronic headaches, you probably feel quite frustrated. This simple primer will help you identify what is causing your headaches so you can find ways to eliminate them. You get headaches when the muscles in veins laying just on top of your skull begin to swell. Those sensitive nerves shout an alarm to the brain, telling you in no uncertain terms that they do not like this swelling. You experience this message as a headache. The most commonly reported headache is the tension headache. Tension headaches feel like a boa constrictor has wrapped itself around your head and given you a big squeeze. It can occur anywhere, but usually is localized to the back of the head and upper neck or across the forehead. Tension headaches are usually triggered by excessive noise, high-sugar foods, sleep deprivation, or stress. You can usually cope with a tension headache by lying down, getting a massage, using a cold compress, or simply getting away from the source of stress. Another common headache is the sinus headache. Sinus headaches usually feel like pressure across your forehead or in pockets in your face. You can usually get rid of a sinus headache by drinking hot beverages, massaging your facial tissue, breathing in steam, and clearing mucus from your sinus cavities. One of the worst kinds of headaches is the migraine. Migraines are so intense that they often cause nausea, vomiting, the seeing of stars, unbearable pain, feeling faint, and the inability to handle light, strong smells, or any kind of noise. You can beat a migraine by lying down in a dark, quiet place and sleeping it off. You should be alarmed if you have a headache that is severe enough to produce convulsions, excessive fever, communication problems, or muscle control issues. Head to your doctor's office to eliminate the possibility of encephalitis, meningitis, or stroke. Most headaches are not severe and can be controlled by dietary or environmental adjustments. With any luck, a good night's sleep and a couple ibuprofen (or similar analgesics) will help you feel better. However, you'll want to consult your doctor if your headaches keep coming back or don't go away with simple remedies.
