What are the causes of headaches and what causes them?

Causes of headaches:

1 Migraine: all of them are acute** attacks, accompanied by some specific symptoms. (1) Migraine: (2) Cluster headache (3) Cervical migraine.

2 Non-migraine: no obvious episodic and specific concomitant symptoms. It is mostly caused by systemic diseases that dilate intracranial and extracranial blood vessels, such as infection, poisoning, high fever, hypertension, various hypoxic states (cerebral insufficiency, cardiopulmonary insufficiency, anemia, altitude sickness), and hypoglycemia.

There is always a primary symptom that can be diagnosed.

3.There is also temporal arteritis, which is more common in middle-aged and older men, and is partly related to collagen disease.

2) Head and neck neuritis headache: the greater occipital nerve, supraorbital nerve and auricular temporal nerve, etc., can cause neuralgia of the head nerve due to cold, infection or trauma. The first branch of the trigeminal nerve can also cause persistent or transient exacerbation of pain in the anterior head due to infection, cold, etc., which is called trigeminal neuritis or symptomatic trigeminal neuralgia.

See Chapter V, Section 1 for details.

3) Headache caused by lesions of the head and neck**, muscles, and skull:

1. Acute scalp infection, boils, and skull tumors can cause local headaches. The primary lesion is obvious, and diagnosis is not difficult.

2 Tension headache (muscle contraction headache): quite common. It is caused by continuous contraction of the head and neck muscles, and is usually a persistent dull pain in the anterior head, occipital neck, or whole head.

**Most are caused by nervousness or anxiety, but can also be secondary to vascular headache or headache with lesions of the five senses, sometimes caused by head and neck myositis, cervical muscle strain, or cervical spondylosis.

4) Headache caused by lesions of the five senses and oral cavity: headache is caused by the spread of pain at the site of the original lesion"Referred headache"。There are obvious signs of primary disease. When the signs are not obvious, such as mild refractive error and chronic glaucoma, it is easy to miss the diagnosis.

1 Nasal lesions:

1) Paranasal sinusitis: (2) Nasopharyngeal cancer.

2 Ocular lesions:

1) Refractive error (farsightedness, astigmatism, presbyopia) and eye muscle balance disorder.

2) Glaucoma.

3) Acute ** staining of the eye:

3 Ear lesions: acute otitis media and mastoiditis may have severe earache and extend to one side of the headache, mostly pulsating.

4 Oral lesions: Toothache can sometimes extend to the affected side of the face. Temporomandibular joint pain often extends locally to one side of the headache, joint pain during bite, and localized tenderness.

I feel that most of it is due to lack of sleep, and sometimes I don't sleep well and have a headache the next morning.

1.related to genetics;

2.Gender factors are also more common, with women having 2 to 3 times more migraine than men;

3.It is related to the working environment and work habits, such as sitting work, working with the head down, studying nervously, etc.;

4.Related to sleep habits, if insomnia or use too high pillows during sleep, it is easy to cause muscle tension in the neck, leading to nerve dysfunction, and then causing migraine;

5.It is related to nutrient deficiencies, such as lack of B vitamins, calcium deficiency, magnesium deficiency and other trace elements can also cause migraines;

6.Dietary habits, such as chocolate, alcohol consumption, and smoking, can cause migraines.

There are many causes of headaches, usually due to fatigue, nervousness or cold. If you have a long-term headache, it is better to pay attention to it and go to the hospital for a check-up.

I think it might be the reason for the cold.
