Treating Your Headache
We’ve all been there before—that nagging headache that causes a throbbing pain in your head. With several different types of headaches, it can often be difficult to understand the underlying cause of the pain.
Groups at Risk for Headaches
Headaches commonly occur due to hundreds of different triggers. However, there are some factors that might put a person at a higher risk of experiencing headaches. For instance, as we stated previously, women are three times more likely than men to develop migraine headaches—three times as many! Now that is a lot. Teenagers and adults who are obese, smoke and perform little exercise are also significantly more likely to experience migraines than those without all three lifestyle factors.
Generally, the following groups are at an increased risk of experiencing headaches:
- Obese
- Smokers
- Excessive exercisers
- Those who don’t get enough exercise
- Excessive alcohol drinkers
- Highly stressed individuals
