“THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF HEADACHES.”

1. Tension Headaches

The most common type, often described as a dull, aching pressure.

What it feels like:

• Tight band around the head
• Mild to moderate pain
• Pressure in the forehead, temples, or back of the head

Common triggers:

• Stress
• Poor posture
• Eye strain
• Fatigue

These are generally not severe but can become frequent if stress isn’t managed.

2. Migraines

More intense and often disruptive,  headaches are not just “bad headaches”—they’re a neurological condition.

What it feels like:

• Throbbing or pulsing pain (often on one side)
• Sensitivity to light and sound
• Nausea or vomiting

Some people also experience visual disturbances known as “auras” before the headache begins.
