Headaches are put in two class:

• Primary: This is the common headache syndrome which are, tension, migraine and cluster. The tension headaches are the most common and are usually treated with over the counter drugs such as Panadol, Excedrin, Advil and many more. Migraine headaches are triggered by certain conditions of the individual.

Depending on the individual, these headaches are treated with prescribed medication and even over the counter drugs.

Many things may bring on tension headaches, but the most common cause is long period of tension and high levels of stress. These headaches are tension headaches and muscle contraction headaches. Most person can attest to suffering from this at some time. Stress can cause the muscles in your face, scalp and neck to spasm and bring aches.
