migraine_headache_pain_1_1.jpgAlmost everyone has had a headache at least once in their lifetime, but some people suffer from chronic headaches that occur monthly, weekly, or even daily. There are a myriad of causes of headaches, including tension, stress, allergies, medications, food and drink, and TMJ jaw pain. Although rare, chronic headaches may be a sign of a brain tumor, which requires immediate medical attention. Occasional headaches are common, but chronic headaches can affect your work, job, relationships, and quality of life. Fortunately, in many cases they can be successfully treated.

Headaches are considered to be chronic if they occur 15 or more days per month for a period of three consecutive months. Chronic headaches can produce a number of symptoms depending on the type. For instance, they may affect only one side of the head or both, create mild to severe pain, cause a pulsating sensation, cause a pressure or tightening band around the head feeling, or get worse with physical activity. They may even include nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. Migraine headaches can cause excruciating pain and extreme sensitivity to light and sound. Migraine headaches also can cause visual disturbances that can precede the pain.
