Stress-Related Headaches
Stress-related headaches are a broad category that includes both tension headaches and migraines. These headaches are triggered by prolonged stress, which tightens muscles and releases stress hormones that affect blood flow to the head. Managing stress through relaxation techniques, exercise, and time management can help reduce the frequency of these headaches. Cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices are also effective tools for coping with chronic stress.
