Headaches can range from mild discomfort to severe pain, and they can be classified into several types, including:

• Sinus Headaches: Associated with sinus infections or inflammation, these headaches often produce pressure and pain in the forehead, cheeks, and around the eyes.
• Tension Headaches: Often caused by stress, tension, or muscle strain, these headaches are characterized by a dull, aching sensation and tightness around the forehead or back of the head.
• Migraines: Migraines are intense, throbbing headaches often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. They may occur with or without aura (visual disturbances preceding the headache).
• Cluster Headaches: These are excruciating headaches that occur in cyclical patterns or clusters, often affecting one side of the head and causing intense pain around the eye.

Symptoms of Headaches and Migraines

Symptoms can vary widely but commonly include:

• Throbbing or Pulsating Pain: Often more intense on one side of the head for migraines.
• Sensitivity: Increased sensitivity to light, sound, or smells during an episode.
• Nausea or Vomiting: Commonly associated with migraines.
• Visual Disturbances: Auras, such as flashing lights or zigzag patterns, may precede migraines.
• Tightness or Pressure: A band-like sensation around the head for tension headaches.
