Almost everyone calls chronic "bad" headaches "Migraines" however, true migraines are more rare, while almost all of the other types of headaches are more common, and can be very much chronic as well.


Vascular headaches can occur with nausea; this can happen in a migraine but a vascular headache can be independent of a migraine as well. They are not neurologic. (think "fever headaches).

Muscular are common and often cluster styled or "all over".

Cervical originate from disorders of the neck or, awkward head positioning.

There are also Traction and inflammatory headaches such as discomfort due to stroke or sinus issues.


Although it's simplistic to just say "stress less", the reality is, until one learns to quiet their mind and also develop coping skills, stress will rear it's ugly head... but there is something you can do in the meantime -- and that is yoga.

Yoga will train you to quiet your mind as well as develop stellar coping skills. In addition one less spoken about remedy for headaches is simply the strengthening of back muscles.

There needs to be both a flexibility in the spine as well as a strong set of back muscles to work properly, to ward off tightening due to mental stress and to increase blood flow.
