Headache

Sinus Headache - This is the worst kind of headache in which the sinus present in and around the nasal area causes excessive pressure in the surrounding areas.
Cluster Headache
Frequent Headache

To understand how headaches arise you need to know a little about the structure and function of organs such as blood vessels, muscles, sinuses, nerves and lymph glands in the head. This knowledge will also help you to interpret your symptoms and understand information provided by your doctors and consultants.

Blood vessels and Headache

Arteries carry blood away from the heart, veins carry blood to the heart. Both vary in size; smaller arteries are called arterioles, smaller veins are venules. Linking the two types of vessel is a huge network of tiny blood vessels called capillaries. It is these which provide most of the blood to our skin.

Arteries as part of Headache

Arteries have three layers in their walls:
. an inner surface made up of cells which are constantly being replaced as they wear out by blood cells and
other components of the bloodstream.
. The middle layer consists of elastic tissue which enables the blood vessel to stretch when necessary - known as vaso-dilation - to allow the pumping movement of blood.
. The outer layer contains some muscle fibers which limit the stretch of the elastic layer so that pressure and blood flow remain even during the pumping cycle of the heart.
Blood flows from arteries to arterioles then to capillaries.

Depression Tip

In times of crisis, the emergency room doctor at a hospital may be able to provide temporary help for an emotional problem, and will be able to tell you where and how to get further help.
