What’s Causing Your Headaches?

What’s Causing Your Headaches?

Frequent headaches may be common, but they aren’t normal. If you suffer from them frequently, there are a few common causes that you should be aware of.

  1. Dehydration: Dehydration causes your blood vessels to constrict, which can lead to pain.
  2. Caffeine withdrawal: If you regularly drink caffeinated beverages and then suddenly stop, you may experience caffeine withdrawal headaches. These can be excruciating and may last for several days.
  3. Skipping meals: If you go too long without eating, your blood sugar can drop, resulting in a headache.
  4. Eye strain: Staring at a computer screen or other digital device can cause eye strain, resulting in a tense head and neck.
  5. Nighttime teeth grinding: Constant muscle contractions in your jaw can lead to tension headaches or migraines. Treatment for teeth grinding may include wearing a mouthguard at night or during times when you are more likely to grind your teeth-which we’re happy to help with!
