Headache What To Do - By Dr Willie Ong

Headache: Causes and Treatment
By Dr Willie Ong

1. Tension Headache – These are caused by stress. If your head feels like someone put a strong rubber band around it, then it could be tension headache. Massaging the head can relieve this headache.
2. Eye-related & Sinusitis Headaches - Does your headache occur after prolonged reading? If it does, this points to an eye problem like an error of refraction, astigmatism or presbyopia.
3. Migraine Headaches - Migraine headaches are more troublesome and different in character. The headache has a pounding or throbbing quality.
4. Serious Causes: Stroke - Vomiting with headache is a worrisome sign, especially if the headache is severe. It could be a stroke or something else. Something we definitely should worry about are the signs and symptoms of a stroke: (1) any sudden weakness in the arm or leg, (2) numbness of a part of the face, (3) sudden slurring of speech, (4) trouble with walking or loss of balance.
