About Migraines and Headaches
Everyone is bound to have a headache from time to time. They can occur when you’re under the weather or dehydrated. Unfortunately, some people have headaches much more often, usually without an obvious cause. If that sounds familiar, you may have chronic headaches. One type of chronic headache is a migraine. This severe type of headache causes unique throbbing or pulsing sensations alongside other disturbing symptoms. Chronic migraines or other headaches can be debilitating. They can make it difficult or impossible to live your daily life to the fullest. The good news is that you don’t have to live like this. A qualified healthcare professional can help.
WHAT TO BE AWARE OF
Signs & Symptoms of Chronic Headaches/Migraines
The primary symptom of chronic headaches is, of course, headaches. However, it’s not as simple as going to the doctor and saying that your head hurts often. Try keeping a journal of your symptoms. Include information like what kind of pain, how long does the pain last, and wherein your head is in the pain. Sometimes a headache can come with other symptoms as well.
