Difference Between the Migraine & Headache Pain
Ever wondered why some head pains make you wish for a quiet, dark room while others just need an aspirin? Let’s crack this nut.
- Regular Headaches:
Unlike severe migraines, common headaches are typically tension-type and might be caused by stress, anxiety, or physical activity. Typically felt like a dull, aching sensation all over the head. It’s often accompanied by tenderness around the neck, forehead, scalp, or shoulder muscles. - Migraine Headaches:
A more intense experience. Think of this as the ‘big brother’ of regular headaches. Along with severe migraines, individuals may experience nausea, blind spots, or increased sensitivity to light and sound. They can be preceded by migraine neurological symptoms known as “aura,” which can manifest as visual disturbances or tingling in a limb.
