Headaches: Triggers & Treatments
Headaches cause pain and other unwanted symptoms. Since headaches are subjective, treatment is often complex. Multiple types of treatment may be necessary to address the individual’s pain.

Headaches can be symptomatic of other issues within the body. Taking medication to treat a headache can cause a rebound headache. If you have to take anti-inflammatory medication more than twice a week, a rebound headache could be a culprit.

The thunderclap headache comes on quickly and is very severe. It manifests as severe neck stiffness within one minute. It’s often referred to by patients as “the worst headache of my life.” This is an emergency situation and care is required immediately. It is often related to serious nervous system issues.

Common Headache Triggers

  • dehydration

  • certain foods
Keep a headache diary to find your triggers and tailor your treatment.
