Headaches
The National Headache Foundation estimates that
over 40 million Americans suffer from headaches.
However, determining the cause is a complicated
procedure with few established medical facts. Most
health professionals agree that headaches can have
many different causes, including chemical sensitivities,
unknown food allergies, and hormonal imbalances.
Diagnosis and treatment is further complicated by
the varying responses of individuals to different
therapies. It is generally agreed that headaches
have two basic underlying causes: those caused by
muscle contraction and those caused by the cyclic
constriction and expansion of arteries (vascular
irregularities). Regardless, headaches have two
broad categories as follows.
Headaches Caused by Muscle Contraction (Tension
Headaches)
This is by far the most common type of headache,
and it begins in the back of the neck or head and
develops into what is usually described as a non-throbbing,
tight band that puts pressure on the head. Health
professionals agree that these tension headaches,
as they are known, are caused by excessive tone
or contraction of the muscles in the face, head
and neck. Both men and women suffer equally from
this condition, which varies from mild to moderate
in severity and rarely incapacitates a person.
Again, there are a number of underlying causes
for tension headaches, often related to spinal misalignment
from poor posture, fatigue or stress, causing contraction
in various muscle groups, as well as other factors
which may include sitting in uncomfortable positions
for long periods. New research suggests that dental
factors, pelvic irritation or anything that results
in stress in the muscles of the face, skull, shoulders
and upper back can all lead to chronic tension headaches.
In addition, muscles that are constantly contracted
suffer from a reduced oxygen supply and become fatigued,
which leads to a buildup of chemicals such as histamines,
which accumulate and trigger neurons, creating pain.
Anger, grief, depression, fear and anxiety have
also been identified as triggers for headaches,
as have poor diets, high caffeine intakes, strong
light, smoking, lack of sleep, or illness. Once
a cycle of headaches occurs, it has a tendency to
self-perpetuate because at the first sign, patients
develop heightened levels of fear and anxiety, producing
muscle tension and so continuing the cycle.
Migraine Headache
Patients usually describe a migraine as starting
with a throbbing, pounding pain in the side of the
head. They are often accompanied by nausea and an
extreme sensitivity to noise and light. Many who
suffer from this debilitating condition have warnings
that a migraine is coming on—warnings such
as tingling extremities, or heightened sensitivity
to light. Migraines are less common than tension
headaches but far more debilitating and often associated
with physical factors. Stress, environmental changes
such as cold weather, certain foods causing allergic
reactions, and chemical sensitivities have been
identified as precursors.
Cluster Headaches
So called because they usually occur in groups
or clusters, cluster headaches are associated with
the sudden onset of pronounced pain lasting from
a few minutes to a day. Prevalent in men, this type
of headache may occur more in people who smoke and
use alcohol, or have sinus problems.
