Why Frequent Headaches Shouldn’t Be Ignored”
“Do you always have ‘one kind headache’ every week? 😣 It might not be ordinary. Let’s talk about hidden causes of frequent headaches and when to seek help.
“Constant Headaches – Common Causes & When to Worry”
Everyone gets the occasional headache. But if you get them every week or daily, something more might be going on.
⚠️ Common Causes of Frequent Headaches:
1. Eye strain:
From too much screen time or uncorrected vision issues.
2. Dehydration:
Especially if you skip water and drink only fizzy or caffeinated drinks.
3. Stress & anxiety:
Emotional tension builds up and shows as a tight band-like headache.
4. Hunger or irregular eating:
Skipping meals or eating too late can trigger headaches.
5. Poor posture:
Neck and shoulder tension from looking down at your phone or sitting badly.
6. High blood pressure:
Especially if the pain is at the back of your head and worse in the morning.
7. Caffeine withdrawal or overuse:
Too much or sudden stop can both trigger pain.
8. Sinus issues or migraines:
Often comes with face pressure or nausea.
✅ What to Do:
• Drink 2–3 liters of water daily
• Rest your eyes every 20 mins during screen time
• Eat regularly and don’t skip breakfast
• Stretch your neck and back after long sitting
• Monitor your blood pressure
• Keep a headache diary to track patterns
• See a doctor if it happens 2–3 times weekly
💡 Nurse’s Tip:
“If your headache wakes you up at night, affects your vision, or lasts more than 3 days — please don’t ignore it.”
