Tension Headaches vs. Migraine Headaches
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 тра 2024
- A headache is a good indicator that your body is missing something - maybe you need to take a breather, drink some water or change the way you eat. You may have a vitamin or nutrient deficiency or a food sensitivity that is causing this built-up tension.
Headaches can be triggered by stress, fatigue, allergies, eyestrain, poor posture, alcohol or drugs, low blood sugar, hormones, constipation and nutritional deficiencies. Your body is telling you that something needs to change, so begin to heed those signals.
In this episode of Ancient Medicine today, I'm talking about the different types of headaches and how to get rid of them - treatments, remedies, essential oils and supplements.

Dr Axe is just solid! Absolutely knows what he's talking about.
Thank you so much for the positive feedback, Brian!
“Manage stress” as if it were that easy.
I assume you have kids and are always very busy you hardly get anytime to yourself to just relax a bit
I know right??? :-( I don't know how to manage my stress!!
Can't even manage myself
Meditate guys. Practice Yoga.
I’d only stress caused migraines. Hint: it doesn’t.
I suffer from chronic migraines every single day 😢
I feel you! I get mixed headaches every day especially in the summertime 😭
me too! and I'm tired!!! :-(
😓
Thanks Dr. Axe for coming out with this. I feel kind of mixed headache.
Thank you Dr Axe for your videos and for being a beast of knowledge.
Thank you so much for the info. I'm a migraine patient and it really hurts. It sucks, I'm tired of it.
Thank you so much for doing this section. Your videos have helped me so much!
That is so encouraging to hear, Marie! Thanks so much.
fantastic..just what I have been thinking what is causing my Migraines
Thanks a lot for this video. A good compilation of the solutions to improve. I did not know about gluten. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for this video 👍🏻❤️
I get a lot of hernias in the belly and have had over 6 surgeries to patch those up. I also suffer from a lot of migraines. Could the hernias be a factor in having these migraines? My doctor said that I just have very thin tissue. And I'm so happy to have stumbled on your channel. Thank you for all your great information.
Thank you God bless you and yours 👏👍
Very helpful to my situation
One of the best videos
Thank you 😍
Very helpful thank you.
Awesome video,well explained
First few mins more useful than my actual visit at clinic
Thank you, Dr. Axe. :)
yes, Agree with everything you said, great video thank you, me personally, major reason is not eating on time, I have to eat every 3 hours or I will start with a slightly headache that will become a migraine if I don't treat it right away, some food, for example chocolate, sweets, coke, will cause me migraines, things that you might want to look into carefully, again thank you for the video.
That's how my husband is if he doesn't eat in time.
Thank You So Very Much.
Hi Dr. Please do a video on cluster headaches and treatment
thank you a lot in filipino words "salamat po ng marami"
Thanks Dr. Axe
I get tension headaches every day. It's getting so bad now
this just started for me the last few days. I hope you are feeling better!!
@@tammyhaynie-hill3046 I have one right now, and I can't do anything productive because of how much it hurts. It's also making me really tired. What did you do to make it go away
@@geckerz , I am sorry you are dealing with this right now. I believe mine was from stress. I tried to eat better, reduce sugar, tried to do things to reduce stress. It finally went away after a week. Also I have tried tapping, which helped as well. Look up, "tapping, with Nick Ortner" here on UA-cam. It did and does help. Seems silly, but it does help. I hope you feel better real soon!! Think positive!!

Me too. It is becoming debilitating and affecting my work and social life. I have NO life now - if I'm not taking medication and trying to do the things I need to, like work, then I'm at home in my bed exhausted with my head hurting. I'm so over it!
i really love ghix guy
he learnt me alot alot alot .. well designed website
thank god we got dr axe
I have tension headaches! It feels like someone is continually punching me in the head! My mom says I have tension headaches but I hate that I can’t do anything about it because I have to go to school all day. I don’t think sitting in a chair for six hours with so much stress helps! I can never even think and I keep failing my tests
I definitely give it a try
I get mixed headaches at least once every two weeks and they can last for 3 to 4 days. They make me feel nauseous. Thanks for the help.
Thank you
I feel like a have a tight hat on it gets worse when a sleep is that tension
I got my first migraine when I was 13 so last year I was in school going to my first class in the morning i suddenly started to see black dots in the corner of my eyes and one side of my head hurtled so so so much I was scared I thought that I had a serious sickness I didn’t know about migraines or anything I went to that nurse after a scary 50 min after my class I live in Sweden and I guess they don’t get migraines because she didn’t know what’s wrong with me and gave me pain killers that by the way didn’t work at all i went to my next class I had math and then I started to feel nauseous and the feeling of ants on my arm and face I didn’t know what to do and my teacher didn’t know ether I started to get very very scared because I didn’t have a clue what migraines were I didn’t go home I felt better after a couple of hours and wanted to finish school when I came back home I told my mom and turns out it’s very common in my family and that it’s called a migraine I was so worried for it to happen again so I’m watching this video to know how to prevent it or what to do when I get it
PS: thank you if you read what I rote I don’t think that this was so interesting but wanted to share my story thank you very much have a good day bye
How do you feel now?
you described it perfect, the ants on your face feeling. thats one of my symptoms too.
Kinda TouQan thank you I’m 33 and going through my first migraine I had no clue What was going on. I feel better hearing others stories. Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much doctor Josh now I understand why like this my headache trigger 🇵🇭
That's really cool. My Fiancé struggles with frequent migraine headaches and the only thing that she will try though it does helps is Sumatriptan; but inreality it's just a bandaid. I have tried lavender but that actually causes headaches in her. I've also convinced her to try glonoinum 30c with no relief but I wasn't aware of the igg test. She is not very active, poor diet. I'm hoping she will watch the video as I shared it on Facebook. Thank you for the great information.
It’s nice that you care about her well-being. She doesn’t have migraines because of anything she is or is not doing, is or is not eating, etc. it’s a neurological disease and videos like this cloud the general perception & positive dismissal that hope, Prayers, diet and exercise are going to cure migraines. Please understand best you can do Is advocate. Tell her she is strong and brave and you know she’s doing all she can. Also, few people I know feel like jumping up and running to a chiropractor appointment in the middle of a migraine attack or running out for a jog in the middle of migraine attack or eating a salad in the middle of an attack LOL. Dr. Axe, This is great information, terrific in fact. I would just take the word migraine out of the title and just talk about the tension headaches.
Very apt given that I've had a migraine today....spot on about them being the most debilitating, I literally lose half of my vision in both eyes, can't speak properly (words come out back to front) pins and needles down half of my entire body (including tongue, gums) I've given up trying to cure myself I just have to live with it like I have since I was 16....I'm 48 this month! Stress is my main trigger, lack of sleep, citrus fruits. I've eliminated so many things to try and prevent them, caffeine being the main one but sadly nothing seems to help.
Electrolytes ,Celtic salt and q10
thank you sir
Experienced all of these throughout my life, the worst are migraines. They started when I was a tween, I'd have to throw up to feel better. Sugar can be a trigger (not always though)
WonderLizzz me too as well as lack of sleep
Many thanks, I been tryin to find out about "how to take away a headache instantly" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Deyyatt Honohn Blaster - (search on google ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my m8 got excellent results with it.
If you think migraines are the worst you've never had a cluster headache
@Dr. Josh Axe Hello, I've had a severe, unretracting, and debilitating headache for 1.5 years and they do not match any of those 5 types of headaches. I've had every test and imaging imaginable. It's still undiagnosed despite seeing 15+ doctors. Do you have any suggestions? PLEASE HELP!!!
nice info
Doctor Axe, thank you so much for this video. I have had migraines for 30 plus years, been to many doctors, cat scans, diary, you name it, done it. Even things you have listed to help. Massage twice a week would probably help me a lot, but can't afford it and sure wish it was covered better, so a person could go more. Chiropractor the same thing. I am real sick of pills, but sure have to take them right away, or migraine will get worse! That is real important! I did not know that milk, or gluten could be a trigger though, wow. I have cut way back on the bread, like way back. Thanks There are binaural beats, was wondering your thoughts on that?
Thanks for the information...what about the headache that is caused because of something outside the body (metaphysical causes)?
Caffeine triggers my migraines. This has been way more help then going to the hospital when my migraines paralyze half my body and all they can do is give me aspirin which doesn’t do anything
Kim Giard i dont think thats a migraines go check that with a neurologist or go emergency room cause thats no it is more serious
Hi again, I've been eating regular mushrooms every single day for at least 2 weeks and I have been very unwell with headaches dizziness depression for over a week taking paracetamol three times a day constantly, there's no change I have a lot of heat around my top of my head, forehead and my neck what do you think? Do you think this could be the cause because I'm eating mushrooms everyday uncooked and cooked ? Tiarmarie
I often get headaches (especially during after long periods of studying and the next morning when i wake up )on the right side of my head and they vary from mild to severe. However, i dont feel nauseated or lose my appetite or any other symptoms described. Would i still be classfied as having a migraine?
I subbed after watching this video
I haven't felt my face fully relaxed in about 5 years I've pretty much tried everything
chris x i haven’t experience the feeling of no pain for a day since i was in highschool. now, i’m 42
chris x check out Austin Goh
Very helpful! Thank you so much! ❤
What about waking up without alarm clock in less than 8 hours? Like 6 h and 30 minutes to 7 hours?
Swimming is very great I recommend thanks for the info
Hello Doctor, Does chiropractic adjustment get rid of migraine permanently??
Thank you... Very helpful...
Dr Axe, I have been suffering from a bit of both migraine and tension headache symptoms. My friend at church was telling me all about the essential oils that help it. I put some in a spray bottle with water and it does the trick, for a while. I've also been eating healthier. But I struggle with magnesium. Any suggestions on foods and supliments?
Amanda Le Loup calm powder drink
Reflexology💕 non synthetic magnesium, no gluten and all organic has helped so much. Had to give up chocolate 😂😂
I get mixed migraines a lot of times
Bradley Drennan me too
Sorry to hear that, Bradley. Here are a few articles that might help!

Dr. Josh Axe thanks! I saved them. I'll look at them tomorrow during my lunch break.
Hi there doc, can eating regular mushrooms cause someone with vertigo headaches, fatigue,nausea, dizziness and depression?..I have had this for over a week... Tiarmarie 😊
Very informative, although cluster headaches are considered the most debilitating/painful by most medical professionals and sufferers. They aren't nicknamed suicide headaches for nothing
I agree but maybe because there is chronic migraines ,i read clusters can be more occasional or suffer for a time and it goes away for a certain time .For what i read they are intense but migraines are also and just not the head pain ,there are a lots of symptons asweell ,anyway headaches are all terrible
I have suffered from cluster headaches and tension headaches and migraine headaches. And my tension headaches start from when I wake up in the morning. I have had them for sometime now. I have been to my doctors but they couldn't help. The pain is really horrible and I have to sleep all day. And I end up having a seizure as I have epilepsy. I have had sleep problems and suffer from sleep deprevation and tension headaches all my life.
Hello please I have had this for about two months I don’t know what’s happening to me my head is very heavy and my eyes too are strained can you please help me I have been to the hospital but they say nothing is wrong with me
Any advice for post concussion syndrome I have daily headaches
I’d beg to differ about migraines being the worst. I’ve had tension headaches that did EVERYTHING attributed to migraines, but the pain was not on one side, it was across the top half of the head. So either they’re migraines that affect the wrong part of the head, or tension headaches can be every bit as bad as migraines. I’ve had them last as long as three weeks at a time, and wanted somebody to come by and knock me out with a hammer until it was over.
Melissa .Garrett nothing in life is worse than a cluster headaches
Melissa .Garrett Im experiencing what i believe is tension headaches now for the past 2 days or so. Can u pls tell me how can u rid of it. Im only 18
Kazeba ... I also experience tension headaches and good ways to reduce the pain for me is cold flannels/ice packs. Now this isn't going to get rid of the headache but will relax the head. As well as this if you take vitimin B tablets it can help to reduce them.
I take regular propranolol which I am prescribed from my neurologist so it is worth talking to your docotor about it. All of these things won't completely get rid of them but will reduce them and the pain!
I totally agree ... migraines are often thought as the worst but tensions are just as bad (I experience both!).
Melissa .Garrett I think the worst part of migraine headaches isn't the headache (which hurts a lot) but having nausseas, vomiting, being unable to talk, feeling cold as hell, and the shivers you get. I don't usually feel tension headaches, so I have no idea how strong they are, but I have some savage migraines and the worst part of it isn't the headache.

I get a lot of cluster headaches. What causes them?
Stress are really bad girl it cause a lot of health promblem and genetic play a role
I've had migraines since I was 8
They've diminished a lot since but sometimes my tension head aches relaly trigger my migraines
I guess TMJ disorder doesn't help either
I've been dealing with headaches that are scaring me from (maybe?) TMJ. I have tmjd and I'm hoping all weird headaches and new symptoms are from clenching/grinding.
Cluster headaches are far worse than migraines
I have migraine and I don't know cause migraine can last for weeks
I can’t tell if what I have is migraine or tension headache. I’ve been having this headache for over a week now and I don’t take any medications whatsoever so if anyone can tell me what I have I’d appreciate it
Im going on week 2 of migraine and been to hospital and just told me take pain pills? Did u get rid of yours? Feels like never going away
Brandon Martinez Diet Pepsi helps cbd a ice wrap around your head with bandana
Migraines are far more debilitating. Feels like there is an ice pick in the eye socket and advice on the neck. You may have nausea or cyclical vomiting throughout the attack. You must lay in a dark room because the sun hurts. Every smell is magnified and makes you sick. You are totally listless despite heavy hitting medication. They happen over anything or everything and you have to cancel plans on a dime so you start losing friends and becoming very isolated. When you come up from those attack you will feel as in a brain fog for the next 24 or so hours possibly lethargic or totally awake because you slept through the whole attack. You might eventually have to stop working. When you don’t have a migraine those Precious moments are spent maintaining a home, paying bills, I’m going to useless doctor appointments that turn up with nothing new besides more medications with more side effects thatI don’t want to take… Praying you don’t have migraines in there only tension headaches LOL
Am I the only one who heard him say hot yoga? Lol
I guess anxiety gives you all these symptoms.

Yoga is good for headaches too

I don't know what kind of headache I have, it's been tree months now I feel daily headache usually in one part of the head but sometimes in two spots in the front of my head, I feel pulsing sensation in my back head, and sometimes a weird feeling in one spot or two of the front of my head like the spot is cold or empty that I feel the need to put pressure on it. I have visited a doctor he was in such a hurry he just looked at my scan exam and told me it is jut stress, but it is not as there is nothing to justify it. Can anyone please tell me at least what kind of headache I have, and how to preeced the treatment!
This sounds exactly like my symptoms! And my doctor says it's stress, because tests aren't showing anything. I'm trying to believe it's stress, but I'm terrified it's something worse. Have you gotten any answers? I hope you're feeling better!
@@starrywillowtree hi there, I did an mri exam, irm in French. But there is nothing on it the doctor said, he gave me other stress medications, although I'm not convinced. If you like to talk more about this issue give me your contact infos. Talking with someone who has similar conditions helps.
Hey any update on your condition?
Update after two years : although the headache is not gone completely, I feel much better. Most days I can read, work and do my errands without thinking about my head. So stay positive and the headache will slowly go away although it could take few months or ever years sadly. Medication won't necessarily help as I found out, I cut them off completely unless I had a major headache. Ps : among all the medication out there, you could find one that will suit you and mitigate your headache considerably. But I recommend not to abuse them as they could also damage something else that isn't broken in your body.
I had miģraine and mixed very bad headack 😢😢😢
ohhh and it is hereditary
I have migraines :(
I get tension headaches on the top of my head smh
Angel medrano me tooooo..it sucks..when i press the top of my head I feel how deep the headache is
You're not a doctor, right?
This doctor never answers questions his loyal viewers posts? What's with that?
I have all lmao
I love Dr.Axe but it baffles me why he constantly calls himself a damn Dr!!
Nothing can cure tension headache.... i've suffered for years now
They aren't being a troll. They're just saying they have dealt with the pain tension headaches cause for way too long to ever think there a "cure" for it.
nonsense. treatment of symptoms is no substitute for correction of cause. you have no clue of the cause or the correction. this is why migraine sufferers need to see an hio method chiropractor instead of wasting their time with non-corrective therapies.
Amen!
Thank you
