Headache, or pain in any part of your head, is very common. Most of the time, it is not serious. They are often triggered by things like stress, certain foods, alcohol or being tired. There are many different kinds of headaches, including tension, cluster and migraine headaches. All of these can be treated with medicine.
Occasionally, headaches can be a symptom of eye problems. Angle-closure glaucoma and diseases of the blood vessels feeding the eyes can cause headaches. Stroke can cause severe headache and a droopy eyelid. Get medical help right away if you have these symptoms.
Your doctor can help find out what is causing your headaches and recommend treatment.
