A headache can be annoying, but when it becomes frequent, severe, or disrupts daily life, it could be a sign of an underlying medical condition. From tension headaches to migraines and neurological issues, different types of headaches require specialized treatment.
At Yashprabha Neuro Hospital, we provide expert diagnosis and headache relief solutions for patients experiencing chronic headaches, dizziness, and stress-related pain. Whether it’s migraine attacks, sinus headaches, or cluster headaches, our headache specialists in Sangli and Miraj offer personalized care.
What Are the Common Causes of Chronic Headaches?
While occasional headaches may not be concerning, frequent or long-lasting headaches can be caused by multiple factors:
1. Tension & Stress Headaches
Caused by stress, anxiety, or muscle tension in the head and neck.
Often feels like a tight band around the head.
Best treated with lifestyle changes, relaxation techniques, and medications.
2. Migraine – A Severe & Disruptive Headache
Throbbing pain on one side of the head.
Sensitivity to light, nausea, and vomiting.
Triggers include stress, certain foods, dehydration, and hormonal changes.
3. Sinus Headaches – Linked to Nasal Congestion
Pain around the forehead, eyes, and cheeks.
Often caused by sinus infections, allergies, or colds.
Treated with decongestants, antihistamines, and steam inhalation.
4. Cluster Headaches – Extremely Painful but Rare
Short, recurring headaches that occur at the same time daily.
Intense pain around one eye, tearing, and nasal congestion.
Best treated with oxygen therapy and prescribed medications.
When Should You See a Doctor for Headaches?
You should seek immediate medical help if:
✔ Your headache is sudden and extremely severe (worst headache of your life).
✔ Headache is accompanied by confusion, vision problems, or loss of balance.
✔ You experience headaches frequently (more than 2-3 times a week).
✔ Painkillers do not work or only provide temporary relief.
