Understanding Headaches: More Than Just Pain

Headaches are among the most common neurological complaints—yet they’re often misunderstood or ignored. While occasional headaches are a part of life, persistent or severe headaches may signal an underlying neurological issue that requires expert evaluation.

Dr. Sushma Sharma, Director – Neurology at Metro Hospital, Faridabad, specializes in diagnosing and managing all types of headaches, from simple tension headaches to debilitating chronic migraines.

Types of Headaches:

🟡 Tension Headaches

  • Most common type
  • Dull, aching pain on both sides of the head
  • Often triggered by stress, poor posture, or eye strain

🔵 Migraine Headaches

  • Intense, throbbing pain usually on one side
  • May be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light or sound
  • Can last for hours to days

🔴 Cluster Headaches

  • Severe pain around one eye, occurring in clusters (repeated episodes for weeks or months)
  • Often accompanied by tearing, nasal congestion, or restlessness

⚠️ Secondary Headaches
Caused by an underlying condition like sinus infections, high blood pressure, brain tumors, or trauma. These require immediate medical attention.

What is a Migraine?

A migraine is a neurological condition involving more than just a bad headache. It often presents with additional symptoms such as:

  • Visual disturbances (called aura)
  • Sensitivity to light, sound, or smell
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Dizziness or light-headedness
  • Fatigue or brain fog post-attack

Migraines may be episodic (occasional) or chronic (occurring more than 15 days per month).

Common Headache & Migraine Triggers:

  • Stress and anxiety
  • Hormonal changes (especially in women)
  • Skipping meals or irregular eating patterns
  • Dehydration
  • Excessive screen time
  • Certain foods (chocolate, cheese, MSG, caffeine, red wine)
  • Lack of or too much sleep
  • Weather changes

When Should You See a Neurologist?

Not all headaches are harmless. You should consult a neurologist if:

  • You experience frequent or worsening headaches
  • Pain disrupts your daily activities
  • Over-the-counter medications no longer help
  • You notice changes in vision, speech, or coordination
  • You experience headaches with nausea, vomiting, or fainting
