Headaches & Migraines In Charlotte NC

A common, or primary, headache will usually cause pressure and pain on both sides of your head. The pain may be mild or severe, but regardless of the severity, it may prevent you from fully functioning at your job or from enjoying leisure activities.

The ordinary headache may last a few minutes or even as long as a few days. The most common type of headache is tension headache and the causes usually stress, muscle strain, or anxiety.

Other types of headaches include:

• Cluster headaches – They’re called cluster headaches because they occur in waves, lasting for several minutes or to a few hours each. Cluster headaches are accompanied by a burning sensation and intense pain.
• Sinus headaches – Characterized by intense pain in the sinus areas and in the front of the head. Some sinus pain sufferers have said that their sinus pain is the worst pain they have ever experienced.
• Hormone headaches – These are headaches that are linked to hormonal fluctuations in women. Menstruation, birth control pills, and pregnancy all affect female estrogen levels, which can trigger headaches.
• Exertion headaches – Exertion headaches can occur after intense physical activity. Common triggers for exertion headaches include weightlifting, running, and sexual intercourse.

Caffeine is also known to trigger headaches, whether it is consuming too much or not at all, as when someone tries to quit caffeine consumption “cold turkey.”

THE MIGRAINE DIFFERENCE

One of the most common differences between headaches and migraines is that migraines will usually affect only one side of the head. Migraines are also distinguished by pain so intense that it makes the simplest tasks impossible.

Regular migraine suffers may also experience dizziness, nausea, flashing lights, and tingling or numbing the face and hands. The effects of a migraine are sometimes so severe that sufferers seek treatment in hospital emergency rooms.
