Headaches and Migraines Q & A

What is a headache?

A headache is a condition that occurs when a patient experiences pain in any part of the head. The most common type is a tension headache, which usually causes a dull pain on both sides of the head. Patients with a tension headache may also experience scalp and muscle tenderness.

What is a migraine?

A migraine is a severe headache that can last for days if left untreated. The pain from a migraine typically occurs on only one side of the head, and it may throb or pulsate. Patients with migraines may also experience nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, sensitivity to light, or sensitivity to sound.

What causes headaches and migraines?

Physical or emotional stress cause most tension headaches. Researchers believe that chemical imbalances in the brain or changes in the interaction between the trigeminal nerve and the brainstem cause migraines. People who are migraine-prone may be more likely to experience headaches after encountering certain triggers, such as specific chemicals, changes in the weather, or hormonal changes.
