5. Headaches And Migraines: They’re Not The Same! When you experience a pressure-type pain in your head, it’s very hard to tell if it’s just a common headache or more serious, a migraine. It’s important to know the differences between the two, so you can get swift and correct treatment to alleviate the pain and the stress that comes with it. It can be very easy to confuse a migraine for a headache if you don’t know what to specifically look for, which is why we’ve put together this little guide to help you spot the differences between the two. So, what is it exactly that separates an ordinary headache from a migraine? Read on to find out.

6. Headaches: What Are They? Headaches, like all other pains, are unpleasant to experience. These are pains in your head that cause pressure and aching and the pain can range from mild to severe. They can occur on either or side of your head but other areas where headaches can occur include your forehead, temples, and the back of your neck. A headache can last for as little as half an hour to as long as a week. One of the most common types of headaches is a tension headache, and it’s no surprise given the fact we live in such a fast-paced world that demands a lot of brain- fuelled energy. This type of headache can be triggered by stress, muscle strain, and anxiety. There are other types of headaches too, and the key to differentiating between a headache and a migraine is by knowing exactly what each one is and being able to tell apart the different types under both.
