Headaches are one of the most common ailments that can affect anyone regardless of age, race or gender. There are two primary types of headaches - tension headaches and migraines, with migraines typically causing pulsating pain on one side of the head along with nausea. Headaches can also be caused by secondary issues elsewhere in the body like the neck muscles. Treatment options include acute treatments to immediately relieve symptoms as well as preventive treatments to manage chronic headaches on a longer-term basis.
