Common Causes of Chronic Headaches
Understanding the potential causes of headache pain can help treat headaches through pain management. For those already experiencing headaches, it can be helpful to understand the causes in order to identify what may have caused your condition.
A diagnosis of Headaches often identifies one of a variety of factors:
Tension
Stress can become a major source of tension headaches. Holding tension in the muscles for long periods can also cause people to suffer from tension headaches.
Dehydration
Insufficient hydration can cause headaches as the brain contracts due to lack of fluids.
Poor Posture
Extended time hunched over screens or a desk can cause strain in the head and surrounding muscles.
Sleep Disruption
Not getting enough sleep or having inconsistent sleep patterns increases the likelihood of suffering from a headache.
Eye Strain
Overworking your eyes can cause headaches, especially if you are sensitive to blue light from screens.
Hormone Changes
Hormone changes like those during menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or menopause can cause migraines, cluster headaches, and other varieties of headaches.
Food Sensitivities
Having a sensitivity or allergy to certain foods can manifest an immune response in the form of headaches.
Environmental Factors
Bright lights, loud noises, and strong smells can trigger headaches, especially in those prone to migraines.
Medication
Overuse of medication can cause headaches.
Age
Age-related changes in the body can cause headaches to manifest.

Headache and Migraine: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if a headache is serious?
A headache can be serious if it's sudden, severe, or accompanied by other symptoms. A headache alone doesn't necessarily indicate a serious threat. When a headache becomes severe or has other sensations alongside it, that is the point where a headache is sufficiently serious enough to warrant medical attention.
How do I know if my headache is from stress?
A headache from stress, also called a tension headache, feels like a dull ache or dull pressure around the head. It usually feels like a band tightening around the skull to create the dull throbbing sensation characteristic of the headache.
What does a dehydration headache feel like?
A dehydration headache can range in feeling from a dull ache to a severe migraine. The more dehydrated you are, the more likely the headache is to feel more intense.
How long is too long for a headache?
If you have a headache for more than 24 hours without a pain-free interval, you should consider getting medical attention. In such instances, it can be an indicator that something else is wrong in your body, and that is what's causing your headache.
