MEDICAL ANIMATION TRANSCRIPT:
Headache
A headache is pain or discomfort in the head or face
Headaches vary greatly in terms of the location and intensity of the pain, and how often the headaches occur.
The brain tissue doesn’t have pain-sensitive nerve fibers and doesn’t feel pain. But, other parts of the head can be responsible for a headache including:
* A network of nerves that extends over the scalp
* Certain nerves in the face, mouth, and throat
* Muscles of the head, neck, and shoulders
* Blood vessels found along the surface and at the base of the brain
Types of headaches
Migraine
Migraine is a disabling neurological disease where the nerves become over-stimulated and cause a cascade of chemicals to be released.
Symptoms of Migraine
The symptoms of migraine vary from person to person. Common Symptoms include:
* Moderate or severe and often intense Headache.
* Headache on one side of the head or both.
* A throbbing, pounding, or pulsating pain.
* The headache which gets worse with physical activity
* Nausea and/or vomiting
* Sensitivity to light, noise and/or smells.
Tension headaches
Tension headaches are the most common type of headache.
Stress and tight muscles are often factors in tension-type headaches.
Symptoms of Tension headaches
* Slow onset of the headache
* Head usually hurts on both sides
* Pain is dull or feels like a band or vice around the head
* Pain may involve the back part of the head or neck
* Pain is mild to moderate, but not severe
Cluster headaches
Cluster headaches usually occur in a series that may last weeks or months.
These are the most common symptoms of a cluster headache:
* Severe pain on one side of the head, usually behind one eye
* The eye that is affected may be red and watery with a droopy lid and small pupil
* Swelling of the eyelid
* Runny nose or congestion
* Swelling of the forehead
Causes
Headaches are classified as primary or secondary.
* A primary headache means the headache itself is the main medical problem, although other factors may be identified for e.g.
* Muscle tension
* Exposure to certain foods
* Certain Medicines
* Dehydration
* Hormone changes.
* A secondary headache is related to an underlying medical condition for e.g.
* neck injury,
* eye problems
* jaw, teeth, or sinus infection
* Meningitis
* Brain tumour
* encephalitis
Treatment Options
Effective headache management depends on finding what type of headache you have and may include:
* Avoiding known triggers
* Changing dietary habits
* Exercise
* Resting in a quiet, dark environment
* Medications
* Stress management
