Which type of headache is causing your pain?

There are three types of headaches: tension, migraine and cluster. Each headache may have its own symptoms that can be dull and throbbing, or sharp and pinpointed, and last for a few minutes or a few days. Figuring out which type you have can help to treat the symptoms and prevent future headaches.

Tension headaches

Tension headaches are one of the most common types of headaches. They can be caused by a tightening of the muscles of the neck and scalp.

This muscle constriction may be triggered by physical or environmental factors, including stiffness or pain in the shoulder and neck muscles as a result of stress or poor posture.

Tension headache symptoms;

  • Result in mild-to-moderate pain and feel like a tight band of pressure around the head.
  • Be felt equally on both sides of the head, and are normally short lived.
  • Be uncomfortable and annoying. However, they are generally not severe enough to prevent daily activities such as walking.

Cluster headaches

 

Cluster headaches are the least common type of headaches, but arguably the most intense, and men are more likely to suffer from them than women.

The “cluster” in cluster headaches refers not to the location of the head pain, but rather to the grouping of the attacks over time. This is the main difference between cluster headaches and tension or migraine headaches – cluster headaches regularly recur over a certain period of time.
