There are many types and causes why people get migraines/headaches. They can become very debilitating and can affect how we function in our daily life.
Headaches coming from the back of the neck, it has to do with tightness, tense upper back and neck muscles, or irritation of nerves from the cervical spine, also called tension headaches. Sides headaches may show high levels of stress.
Migraines are more complex, and affects the blood vessels with episodes of vascular vasoconstriction or decrease blood flow, and vasodilation or increase blood flow, but the reason why we have these episodes may be coming from chemical changes in the cortex or the outer layer of the cerebrum and affecting the nervous system itself triggering these changes in blood vessels; people also present with sensitivity to light, one side of the head is more affected, and vomiting among other symptoms.
Many factors can contribute to migraines. Decreased artery blood supply to the brain by hypertonic muscles pressing on arteries, nerve irritation, injuries, decrease mobility of cervical vertebraes, can all contribute to trigger a migraine/headache but they can also happen due to hormonal changes, during menstruation, high levels of stress, diet, and emotions.
It is recommended to consult with your doctor about your headaches and migraines, to rule out any serious health problem.
