Skip to content Headaches are very common, and their location often helps identify the cause.
Tension headaches cause diffuse pain, like pressure around the head, often linked to stress.
Migraines, on the other hand, are characterized by throbbing pain, often on one side, accompanied by nausea or sensitivity to light and sound.
Other types exist: cluster headaches cause intense pain around one eye, sinus headaches cause pressure in the face, and thunderclap headaches, sudden and severe, can indicate a medical emergency.
Recognizing these different profiles helps to better understand the origin of the pain and know when to seek medical help.
