Headaches Q & A

What causes headaches?

The cause of your headache pain depends on the type of head pain you experience. The most common type is a tension headache in which tight muscles in your shoulder, neck, and jaw cause headache pain. Tension headaches often occur when you are stressed out, don’t get enough sleep, or suffer from depression and anxiety.

What are some common types of headaches?

Besides tension headaches, other common headache types include:

  • Migraines: Caused by factors affecting pain-sensitive structures in the brain. Genetics may have a role to play as well, but many treatment options are available.
  • Cluster headaches: brought on by potential abnormalities in your hypothalamus, or by certain medications
  • Low- or high-pressure headaches: High-pressure headaches mimic the symptoms of a brain tumor and are very rare. Obesity and certain medications are other likely causes of high-pressure headaches.
  • Post-traumatic headaches: persist after a traumatic brain injury
  • Thunderclap headaches: sometimes have no known cause, but can be related to ischemic stroke or other problems with blood flow to the brain
  • Sinus headaches: usually associated with other forms of headaches or migraines

Each type of headache may be the result of a variety of factors, such as stress, injury, or food and other triggers. Dr. Gupta expertly determines the cause of your headache pain to customize an effective treatment plan.

How are headaches treated?

Treatment options vary depending on the type of headaches you experience, the underlying causes, and Dr. Gupta’s diagnostic testing results. She may recommend simple lifestyle modifications that have proven to be a blockbuster particularly in treating headaches. She also discusses your health history and conducts a thorough examination to rule out potential causes.
