We experience different types of headaches.
Depending on the severity of a headache, it can be debilitating.
Often one would creep up on you and you won’t know what it means but of course, it is an indication that something is wrong with your body.
Doctor Haleema Khan, a chiropractor in Dubai, took to TikTok to share what different types of headaches feel like and what they mean.
She starts off by saying that if you have a pain in the back of your head it means that you are stressed out and it’s time you need to relax.
If you feel the pain on the top of your head, it means that you need to eat something or drink water.
Headaches that are felt on your forehead mean that you need more sleep.
If it is felt around the eye area then it’s probably your sinuses.
“Get some medicine, exercise, sleep or steam,” she suggests.
If the headache feels like a tight band around your head, then it’s a tension headache and it’s time to get away from bright light and your screen.
If the pain is felt over your one eye, then it’s probably a cluster headache.
She suggests that you should have it checked out by a doctor.
Neck pain that leads up to your head is most likely a cervicogenic headache.
She suggests that one sees a chiropractor and a physiotherapist.
In the caption of the video, she suggests that all headaches should be evaluated by a healthcare provider to rule out anything serious.
