Why Does it Hurt?
What hurts when you have a headache? The bones of the skull and
tissues of the brain itself never hurt, because they lack
pain-sensitive nerve fibers. Several areas of the head can hurt,
including a network of nerves which extends over the scalp and
certain nerves in the face, mouth, and throat.
A number of chemicals help transmit pain-related information to
the brain. Some of these chemicals are natural painkilling
proteins called endorphins, Greek for 'the morphine within.'
Not all headaches require medical attention. Some result from
missed meals or occasional muscle tension and are easily remedied.
But some types of headache are signals of more serious disorders,
and call for prompt medical care.
These include:
* Sudden, severe headache
* Sudden, severe headache associated with a stiff neck
* Headache associated with fever
* Headache associated with convulsions
* Headache accompanied by confusion or loss of consciousness
* Headache following a blow on the head
* Headache associated with pain in the eye or ear
* Persistent headache in a person who was previously
headache free
* Recurring headache in children
* Headache which interferes with normal life

first develop headaches? The patient`s sleep habits and family
and work situations may also be probed.
A complete and careful physical and neurological examination
will exclude many possibilities and the suspicion of aneurysm,
meningitis, or certain brain tumors. A blood test may be ordered
to screen for thyroid disease, anemia, or infections which might
cause a headache.
EEG`s can indicate a malfunction in the brain, but they cannot
usually pinpoint a problem that might be causing a headache.
Headaches are diagnosed as
* Vascular
* Muscle contraction (tension)
* Traction
* Inflammatory
Vascular headaches - a group that includes the well-known
migraine - are so named because they are thought to involve
abnormal function of the brain`s blood vessels or vascular system.
Muscle contraction headaches appear to involve the tightening or
tensing of facial and n....[MORE]
