Primary headaches
Primary headaches begin in your head or neck. Tension headaches, migraines, and cluster headaches are three common primary headaches.
Secondary headaches
These headaches are caused by another health condition. Three examples of underlying conditions that often cause headaches include concussions, temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), and chronic sinusitis.
What are the symptoms of common headaches?
Though all headaches cause pain, the type, severity, location, and frequency of your pain differs in each headache type. Here are two examples:
Tension headaches
Tension headaches, the most common type, cause moderate pain and pressure around your head.
Migraine headaches
Migraines cause severe pain that starts around one temple and may spread to the other side. Your pain lasts at least four hours (without treatment), and during that time, you have additional symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to smells and lights.
