Suggest Treatment For Headache
Question: Headache cause and solution
Brief Answer:
Treatment depends on the type of the headaches.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your query and understand your concerns.
Headaches causes are several, these are divided in two main groups:
-1- primary headaches ( migraine, tension type, cluster headaches, ice pick headaches etc.)
Primary means that there is no a brain structural cause.
-2- secondary headaches, or headaches caused by other conditions such high blood pressure, sinusitis, occipital neuralgia, increased intracranial pressure etc.
Treatment depends on the exact type of headaches.
Primary headaches are treated with common painkillers, secondary headaches are improved after successful treatment of the underlying causes.
It is necessary for a detailed information about the headaches such distribution, duration, frequency, worsening and improving factors, other accompanying symptoms and general health condition, in order to identify the type of the headache.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Let me know if I can assist you further,
Greetings.
