Headaches are common, but not every headache is the same. A migraine is a neurological condition that can cause moderate to severe, often throbbing pain and may interfere with daily activities.

A normal tension-type headache is often felt as pressure or tightness around the head, while migraine may cause one-sided or throbbing pain, nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light or sound. Some people may also experience visual disturbances or other warning symptoms called an aura.

Common migraine triggers include stress, lack of sleep, dehydration, skipped meals, certain foods, hormonal changes, and excessive screen exposure. Keeping track of headache patterns and triggers can help in managing recurring headaches.

According to Dr. Akshay Baid, Neurology Specialist, frequent, severe, or changing headaches should be properly evaluated to identify the cause and plan appropriate treatment.

If headaches are recurrent, severe, suddenly different, or affecting your daily life, consult Dr. Akshay Baid at Shree Medishine Hospital for neurological evaluation and personalized care.
