Everyone suffers the occasional mild headache but if you experience debilitating pain and/or abnormally frequent headaches, you probably want to find relief. There are countless causes of headaches, which differ for each person, so you'll have to do some experimenting to figure out the cause of your pain. Fortunately, the vast majority of headaches are primary headaches not the result of underlying medical conditions.
The three most common types are cluster,tension-type and migraine.

A cluster headache affects a specific point of the head, often the eye, and is characterized by sharp, piercing pain.
Migraine and tension-type
headaches are far more common. "Tension" headaches are now called "tension-type" headaches because pain is not only caused by stress, but also poor posture, depression and even sexual activity. In fact,recent studies have shown a connection between low serotonin levels and so-called "tension" headaches.
The cause of a headache is often elusive.Although it may seem that your head is pounding for no reason, there is always an explanation for pain. To find out the cause of
your headaches, keep a log and Write down the date and time each headache starts and stops, the location of the pain, the nature and severity of the pain and any factors that seem to trigger the headaches (food, stress, menstrual cycle,medicine, etc.).
•Emotional and physical stress
• Fatigue
• Irregular sleep habits (sleeping too much or too little)
• Skipping meals
• Caffeine use or withdrawal etc.....
