Headache symptoms (sintomas ng sakit ng ulo)
Most headaches build up gradually and ease within hours, but the other symptoms that come with them can help tell the type.
Tight band around the head

Throbbing on one side
Pumipintig ang sakit sa isang side ng ulo. This can be a sign of migraine.

Neck and shoulder pain
Masakit o naninigas ang batok at balikat. Often linked to stress or posture.
Pain around the eyes or forehead

Visual changes before the pain
May nakikitang kislap o linya bago sumakit ang ulo. Tell your doctor about this.

Causes of headache (sanhi ng sakit ng ulo)
Common causes include stress, lack of sleep, skipped meals, dehydration, too much screen time, poor posture, and too much caffeine or alcohol. Migraines can be triggered by certain foods, hormonal changes, bright lights or strong smells, and often run in families.
Headaches can also come with colds, flu, sinus problems, eye strain, or high blood pressure. Taking pain relievers too often can also cause rebound headaches.
Home remedies and prevention (home remedy sa sakit ng ulo)
These simple habits can ease a headache and help prevent the next one.
Drink enough water
Uminom ng sapat na tubig sa buong araw. Dehydration is a common headache trigger.
Keep a regular sleep schedule
Matulog at gumising sa parehong oras araw-araw. Too little or too much sleep can trigger headaches.
Don't skip meals
Kumain sa tamang oras. Skipped meals can bring on a headache.
Take screen breaks
Magpahinga sa screen paminsan-minsan at ayusin ang posture. This reduces eye and neck strain.
Manage stress
Mag-stretching, maglakad, o huminga nang malalim kapag stressed. Relaxing tense muscles can ease tension headaches.
Track your triggers
Isulat kung kailan sumasakit ang ulo at ano ang ginawa o kinain mo. This helps you and your doctor spot patterns.
