There are over 150 types of headaches, but the most common types are tension headaches, migraine headaches, cluster headaches, chronic daily headaches, sinus headaches, and posttraumatic headaches. Most headaches are not the result of a serious illness, but some may result from a life-threatening condition requiring emergency care. A headache can be a sign of stress or emotional distress, or it can result from a medical disorder, such as migraine or high blood pressure, anxiety, or depression, which can also lead to other problems. In some cases, a headache may require immediate medical attention; especially, if you’re experiencing any of the following alongside your headache– stiff neck, a rash, vomiting, confusion, slurred speech, any fever of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher, and/or paralysis in any part of your body or visual loss.
