Headaches Can Pose Serious Health Risks<\/span><\/p>\n

When headaches strike, they can be a nuisance or absolutely debilitating, putting your life on hold.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s important to recognize the various forms of sore heads in order to treat them effectively and find relief as soon as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

The next time a headache sets in, take the time to properly identify it and treat the pain accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Tension Headaches<\/span><\/p>\n

Tension headaches plague people the most, forming pressure that can be found at the back of the head or in the temples.<\/span><\/p>\n

This type of headache is a nuisance, allowing its victims to continue with their daily routines.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, no one wants to put up with the pain. The best form of treatment is over-the-counter pain relievers.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Cluster Headaches<\/span><\/p>\n

Men are more often the unfortunate victims of cluster headaches.<\/span><\/p>\n

This type of pain in the head can stop a person in his or her tracks as terrible pain strikes on one side of the head. It can also be accompanied by a runny nose and watery eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n

During a cluster headache, it is difficult to relax or get comfortable. Over-the-counter and prescription medications can be effective in cutting these headaches short.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Sinus Headaches<\/span><\/p>\n

Sinus headaches occur during a sinus infection. Fever, nasal congestion, and inflamed sinuses are par for the course.<\/span><\/p>\n

Antibiotics will address the sinus infection while decongestants and antihistamines can also provide pain relief.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Rebound Headaches<\/span><\/p>\n

Rebound headaches can occur from the habitual treatment of headaches with pain relievers.<\/span><\/p>\n

The best advice is to reduce the use of pain relievers, try to identify the source of headaches, and make lifestyle changes.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Migraines<\/span><\/p>\n

Migraines are the most severe form of headache. They can last from four hours to three days and recur on a regular basis.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nausea and vomiting are common as well as sensitivity to light. Pain may be throbbing, severe, strike on one side, and make it impossible to do other activities.<\/span><\/p>\n

A migraine specialist can prescribe medications to treat this form of headache.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
