Headache Remedy

There are many reasons a person may experience a headache and each should be managed according to the specific cause. Some causes are persistent and recurring while others may start suddenly and be very severe. As a headache can sometimes be a symptom of dangerous and urgent conditions, it is important for patients who experience headaches to be assessed by their doctors.

Some features of common types of headache include:

TENSION HEADACHE:

  • Headache may persist for weeks and can be present throughout the day.
  • Mild to moderate severity.
  • Pressing or tightening character of pain.
  • Not aggravated by routine physical activity.
  • Often not responsive to simple analgesics.

MIGRAINE:

  • Headache often occurring over a matter of hours.
  • May be associated with nausea, vomiting and neurological signs (e.g. tingling or shimmering before the eyes etc)

MENINGITIS:

  • The patient is generally ill.
  • There is usually fever present.
  • Neck stiffness may be present

SUBARACHNOID HAEMORRHAGE:

  • This often causes a sudden onset, severe headache.
  • Often localized but may be diffuse.
  • May be associated with symptoms like vomiting and neck stiffness.

Proper treatment will require a comprehensive clinical examination supported by relevant investigations.
