When you feel pain in your head, it can be challenging to identify whether it’s a headache or migraine. Headaches cause pressure and pain, usually on one side of the brain. They often affect the forehead, back of the head, or the temples. Common causes of headaches include anxiety, stress, whiplash, and muscle tension.
However, migraines are intense pains in the head, often associated with other symptoms like nausea, light sensitivity, vomiting, and seeing flashing lights. Migraines tend to have more severe symptoms than headaches and affect both sides of your brain. Common causes of migraines include weather changes, hormonal fluctuations, and bright lights.
