There are many causes of headaches and these causes can vary from person to person. The most common causes of headaches are:

1. Tension Headache: Usually related to stress, anxiety or muscle tension.

2. Migraine: Severe headaches may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light.

3. Sinus Headache: May occur due to sinus infections or inflammations.

4. Cluster Headaches: Intense, sudden and severe headaches, usually around one eye.

6. Hormonal Changes: Headaches can occur especially in women during the menstrual cycle, pregnancy or menopause.

7. Insufficient Sleep: Insomnia or irregular sleep can lead to headaches.

8. Insufficient Water Consumption: Dehydration can cause headaches.

9. Wrong Posture: It can cause muscle tension, especially in the neck and shoulder area, leading to headaches.

10. Nutrition: Irregular eating, hunger and consumption of certain foods can cause headaches.

Can you answer these questions so that I can better assist you in terms of history?

1. How often and how long has your headache been going on?

2. Is the headache concentrated in a certain part of your head?

3. Are there any other symptoms accompanying your headache? (e.g. nausea, vomiting, vision problems)

4. Are you taking any medications?

5. Have you experienced any stress or traumatic events recently?

6. When did the headache start and does it get worse at a certain time of day?
