Chronic headache
Chronic headaches are a type of headache that occur for 15 or more days per month for at least three months. These headaches can be classified into different types, including tension-type headaches, migraines, and cluster headaches.
The causes of chronic headaches can vary and may include underlying medical conditions, such as chronic sinusitis or intracranial hypertension, or lifestyle factors, such as stress, lack of sleep, or caffeine consumption. In some cases, the cause may not be clear.
Treatment for chronic headaches depends on the underlying cause. It can include medications to manage pain and other symptoms, preventive medications to reduce the frequency and severity of headaches, lifestyle changes to avoid triggers, and in some cases, procedures such as nerve blocks or Botox injections.
It is essential to consult a healthcare professional if you experience chronic headaches to determine the best treatment plan for you and to rule out any underlying medical conditions.
