A Headache refers to pain in the head or neck, categorized as primary (e.g., migraines, tension headaches) or secondary (caused by conditions like sinus infections and high blood pressure). Tension headaches cause a band-like pressure, migraines involve throbbing pain with nausea, and cluster headaches are severe and occur around one eye. Most headaches resolve with rest, hydration, and pain relievers, but severe or sudden headaches require medical evaluation.
Poor sleep isn’t always caused by stress or lifestyle habits. Conditions affecting the nose, sinuses, and airway, such as sleep apnea or chronic congestion, can interfere with breathing during the night.
