My head hurts like it's going to explode

Headaches are like toothaches. It’s okay when they don’t hurt, but once they start hurting, it’s so painful that you feel like you’re dying. Although the lives of modern people are gradually getting better, their physical health is also getting worse and worse, and many physical problems are occurring. Headache is a common pain problem. However, there are many causes of headaches, and you cannot take medicine blindly. So what are the causes of headaches?

Neural headaches mainly refer to tension headaches, functional headaches and vascular neurosis headaches, which are mostly caused by mental tension and anger. The main symptoms are persistent dull pain, pressure, and heaviness in the head. Some patients complain of a feeling of "tightening" in the head. Most patients have headaches on both sides, mostly on the temporal sides, occipital area, top of the head or the entire head.

Causes

Neuralgic headaches are caused by tense and contracted head muscles, which make the head feel tight or compressed, heavy, and often throbbing and pulling pains. They are aggravated by excessive smoking and drinking. This is mostly caused by irregular lifestyle, excessive smoking and drinking, and lack of sleep.

symptom

The nature of the headache is dull pain, distending pain, pressure, numbness and a band-like tight feeling. The intensity of the headache is mild to moderate and rarely causes bedriddenness or affects daily life. Some patients may have persistent headaches for years, and some patients' symptoms can even be traced back 10 to 20 years. The patient may have headaches all day long, with headaches lasting more than pain-free time. Headaches are often aggravated by factors such as excitement, anger, insomnia, anxiety or depression. There are also some patients who not only have the characteristics of tension headache, but also have the clinical manifestations of vascular headache, and complain of bilateral temporal pulsating headache. This clinical manifestation of both tension headache and vascular headache is called mixed headache. Patients are often accompanied by symptoms such as dizziness, irritability, anxiety, palpitations, shortness of breath, fear, tinnitus, insomnia, back pain, and neck stiffness. Some patients have obvious tenderness points on both sides of the neck or temples.
