How to stop a headache?

It aches in your head, again. The first step in dealing with your frequent headaches is to identify the sort of headache you experience. Headaches are sometimes an indication of another sickness or condition, and other times there is no evident explanation.

Examine your headache’s indications and symptoms carefully. Keeping a headache journal may you in determining the sort of headache you are experiencing. Take note of when your headaches occur, your symptoms, and any potential causes, such as food, stress, or sleep disturbances.

Headaches come in a variety of forms and sub-forms. One subtype is chronic daily headaches, which occur 15 days or more per month. Tension headaches and migraines are also prevalent headache subtypes.

They both have the potential to be chronic, albeit this is not always the case. Other forms of chronic everyday headaches are as follows:
Hemicrania continua is a one-sided headache that can mimic a migraine.

Primary stabbing headaches that linger for a few seconds and might occur numerous times during the day.

Exercise-induced primary exertional headaches
Chronic paroxysmal hemicranias, which are severe, one-sided headaches that might induce tears or a stuffy nose.

Medication overuse headaches are caused by taking pain relievers for headaches for more than three months. These headaches happen at least 15 days a month.

Cluster headaches, which produce extreme pain on one side of the head and occur on and off for weeks throughout the course of a few months, are another form of headache. Cluster headaches are accompanied by one or more of the following signs and symptoms: tears, nasal congestion, and nasal discharge. These take place on the same side as the discomfort.

Tension headaches.
Tension headaches are the most prevalent form of headache: A tight ring of discomfort around your head, a dull aching, or pressure may be felt.
The frequency with which mild to severe discomfort on both sides of the head occurs varies greatly.

On rare occasions.
It is possible that this will happen more than 15 days every month (chronic)
The duration might range from 30 minutes to a week.

Treatment
Most tension-type headaches are readily managed with over-the-counter drugs such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, and others), and acetaminophen (Tylenol, others).

Chronic tension-type headaches may be managed with daily prescription drugs, such as tricyclic antidepressants. Alternative stress-reduction techniques may be beneficial. They are as follows:

• Cognitive-behavioral treatment (CBT)
• Biofeedback
• Therapuetic massage
• Acupuncture

Migraines.
Migraines are another form of headache that is prevalent. They impact women three times more than males. Migraines are characterized by:

• Pain that ranges from mild to severe
• Pulsate
• Result in nausea, vomiting, or heightened sensitivity to light or sound
• Affect only one side of your brain, however both sides can be affected
• Worsens with exercise such as stair climbing.
• Without therapy, it might last from four to 72 hours.

Treatment.
Migraine therapy aims to alleviate symptoms and prevent future episodes. If you know what causes your migraines, avoiding those triggers and knowing how to manage them can help prevent migraines or reduce their severity.
