I will try and write a website page with more details about headaches, the causes and treatments but here is a quick summary that may help:

  • They can result from stiff and painful muscles, especially in your scalp, jaw, neck. shoulders and upper back
  • They may be related to stress or may accompany a hangover
  • They sometimes follow a sporting injury or head injury
  • Some people are prone to headaches at weekends, possibly as a result of a change in routine.
  • They may also be caused by eye problems, dental problems, sinusitis, spinal problems or high blood pressure
  • They are rarely a sign of a brain tumour. In addition, the symptoms of a brain tumour usually develop gradually and become progressively worse, unlike the episodic nature of migraine, which is associated with complete freedom from symptoms between attacks.
