Every Type Of Headache and Its Cause Explained

Chef Caleb breaks down the most common (and some terrifying) headache types with clear explanations of their symptoms, triggers, and root causes in this practical video. Tension headaches feel like a tightening band from stressed, clenched muscles in the neck, jaw, and shoulders; cluster headaches deliver one-sided, excruciating “suicide” pain with eye redness and agitation in daily clusters; migraines are full neurological events with throbbing, sensory overload, nausea, and auras; while dehydration, caffeine withdrawal, sinus issues, hangovers, cervicogenic (neck-related), medication overuse, exertion, hypnic, and thunderclap headaches each have distinct mechanisms ranging from fluid/electrolyte imbalance to blood vessel changes or infections. The video emphasizes that most headaches are signals from lifestyle factors like poor posture, sleep, stress, and hydration rather than random bad luck, and stresses fixing the root causes instead of just popping pills.
