It can be difficult to tell whether you are experiencing a headache or a migraine. However, it is important that you identify the pain in order to have fast relief. Learning how to identify headaches or migraines can also help you prevent them in the future. Headaches can range from mild to moderate pain and typically occur on both sides of the head. A typical headache can last for about 30 minutes and can be triggered by stress or anxiety. Tension headaches are the most common type of headache. Other types of headaches include cluster headaches and sinus headaches. A migraine headache is severe or intense pain usually accompanied by addition symptoms such as nausea, ear pain, aura (seeing spots or flashing lights), vision loss, and vomiting.
