- Odd causes of headaches:
- celiac disease (GSE)
- temporal arteritis [LMC-03-5788]
- rebound headache (those who have regularly used aspirin,
acetaminophen, and other pain meds for headache may get
dull...often morning...headaches because their systems "want" some
more drug. Lack of caffeine in a caffeine user can do
the same).
- "shingles" (herpes
zoster...VZV) with or without definite skin rash.
- Migraine headaches: these become throbbing and and can manifest
as temporary blind spots, loss of balance, or abdominal pain.
- Tension headaches: Your headache primarily occurs
in your forehead, temples or the back of your head and/or
neck...continuous & not
throbbing.
- Hypertension headaches:
- Brain tumor headaches:
- cerebral tumors:
- posterior compartment tumors
- pituitary tumors: usually frontal or facial but can
trigger "vascular type" headaches
- Other:
