Most people have headaches from time to time. But if you have a headache more days than not, you might have chronic daily headaches.
Rather than a specific headache type, chronic daily headaches include a variety of headache subtypes. Chronic refers to how often the headaches occur and how long the condition lasts.
The constant nature of chronic daily headaches makes them one of the most disabling headache conditions. Aggressive initial treatment and steady, long-term management might reduce pain and lead to fewer headaches.
There are short-lasting and long-lasting chronic daily headaches. Long-lasting headaches last more than four hours. They include:
1- Chronic migraine
2- Chronic tension-type headache
3- New daily persistent headache
4- Hemicrania continua
Eat regularly, skipping meals can trigger a headache. If you are working on a computer, giving some rest to your eyes can prevent headaches. Stressful situations can result in a headache or migraine. We may not be able to control stressful events, but instead, we could reduce our stress level with meditation, and yoga.
