ENGLISH VERSION
Headaches are one of the most common health complaints, but not all headaches are the same. Understanding your headache type helps you find the right treatment. At Care For All Medical Centre in Kai Tak, Dr. Chan helps patients identify their headache type and find effective relief.Types of HeadachesTension headaches are the most common type, accounting for 70% of headaches. You feel a constant, dull ache on both sides of your head, often like a tight band. Tension headaches are usually mild to moderate and not disabling. They're triggered by stress, poor posture, or muscle tension.Migraines are intense, throbbing headaches affecting one side of the head. Nausea and sensitivity to light and sound often accompany migraines. Migraines can last 4-72 hours and are often disabling. They affect 12% of the population, with women three times more likely than men.Cluster headaches are rare but severely painful. They occur in clusters (several times daily for weeks or months), then disappear for months or years. The pain is concentrated around one eye.Sinus headaches occur when sinuses become inflamed from infection or allergies. Pain is felt in the cheeks, forehead, or between the eyes.Triggers for HeadachesCommon triggers include stress and tension, poor sleep or sleep changes, skipped meals, caffeine withdrawal, hormonal changes (especially for women), bright lights, loud noises, strong smells, and certain foods like chocolate or aged cheese.Relief StrategiesRest in a quiet, dark room. Apply a cold compress to your head or a warm compress to tense neck muscles. Drink water to stay hydrated. Use over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Try relaxation techniques, massage, or gentle stretching. Avoid known triggers.PreventionKeep a headache diary to identify your triggers. Practice stress management through meditation, yoga, or deep breathing. Maintain regular sleep schedule. Don't skip meals. Stay hydrated throughout the day. Exercise regularly. Limit caffeine and alcohol.When to See a DoctorSee a doctor if headaches are severe or changing, you get headaches more frequently than usual, you develop new headache types, headaches follow an injury, headaches are accompanied by fever, stiff neck, confusion, vision changes, or difficulty speaking, or over-the-counter medication doesn't help.Migraine-Specific TreatmentsFor frequent migraines, preventive medications can reduce frequency and severity. Acute migraine medications like triptans can stop migraines if taken early. Your doctor can recommend the best approach for your situation.Don't Just SufferChronic headaches shouldn't be accepted as normal. Effective treatments exist.
