Tension headaches are the most common
type of headache among adults and teens.
They cause mild to moderate pain and come
and go over time. They usually have no other
symptoms.


Migraine Headaches.


Migraine headaches are often described as
pounding, throbbing pain. They can last from 4
hours to 3 days and usually happen one to four
times a month. Along with the pain, people
have other symptoms, such as sensitivity to
light, noise, or smells; nausea or vomiting; loss
of appetite, and upset stomach or belly pain.
When a child has a migraine, they may look
pale, feel dizzy, and have blurry vision, fever,
and an upset stomach. A small number of
children's migraines include digestive
symptoms, like vomiting, that happen about
once a month.

Cluster Headaches.


These headaches are the most severe. You
could have intense burning or piercing pain
behind or around one eye. It can be throbbing
or constant. The pain can be so bad that most
people with cluster headaches can't sit still
and will often pace during an attack. On the
side of the pain, the eyelid droops, the eye
reddens, pupil gets smaller, or the eye makes
tears. The nostril on that side runs or stuffs up.

Chronic Daily Headaches.


You have this type of headache 15 days or
more a month for longer than 3 months. Some
are short. Others last more than 4 hours. It's
usually one of the four types of primary
headache
1.Chronic migraine
2.Chronic tension headache
3.New daily persistent headache
4.Hemicrania continua.

Less Common Headaches.


Exercise Headaches
When you're active, the muscles in your head,
neck, and scalp need more blood. Your blood
vessels swell to supply them. The result is a
pulsing pain on both sides of your head that
can last anywhere from 5 minutes to 48 hours.
It usually hits while you're active or just
afterward, whether the activity is exercise or
sex.
