Almost everyone has experienced headaches, and its prevalence is second only to colds. Headache is also very cunning. The forehead, the top of the head, the back pillow, and both sides are its preferred areas. In fact, the most fundamental way to relieve headaches is to find the cause. The pain may be the same, but the headache locations each person experience are slightly different, and some headache types have relatively fixed corresponding attack sites.
According to the type, headaches can be divided into the following categories:
1, migraine, the lifelong prevalence of migraine is 18%, which is one of the most common headaches. The hair is located on one side of the head, unilaterally, and it is often manifested as pulse beats or pulsation. It is often accompanied by discomfort such as photophobia, nausea, vomiting, etc.
2. Tension headache

The pain is located above the arch of the eyebrow, on the neck and on both sides of the occipitals (back of the head), and is often manifested as dull pain, pressure, fullness, tightness, colic, etc., and the head and shoulders also feel heavy.
3, trigeminal neuralgia
eye area, commonly in the trigeminal nerve branch area, the most severe pain is concentrated in the intraorbital, posterior, temple and frontal area. Sometimes it will affect the occipital (back of the head), maxilla, neck, ears, teeth, and occasionally radiate to the shoulder and arms on the same side. This headache is extremely painful, and will cause needle tingling, burning, jumping, sharp pain, electric shock, drilling pain, etc.
