Most Common Types of Headaches and Their Symptoms

Before we treat your headaches, we first need to determine what type it is. Here are some of the most common chronic headaches that people suffer from:

• Migraines: These headaches are recognizable because they can be extremely painful and throbbing. They can last anywhere from between a few hours and a few days, happening chronically (usually a few times per month). They are often accompanied by other symptoms such as sensitivity to light, nausea, or stomach pain.
• Tension: Tension headaches are probably the most common type of headache, causing moderate pain but subsiding relatively quickly. There are no other symptoms associated with tension headaches.
• Cluster: Cluster headaches are probably the most painful headaches one can have. They're characterized by burning and/or piercing pain behind one or both eyes. They usually happen a few times per day, for a few hours at a time, which can last up to a few months -- hence the name "cluster".
