Question 1

why does the location of my headache shift when i move my head?

Accepted Answer

Headaches: Headaches from sinus pressure or muscle tightness can seem to migrate to other areas with movement.

Question 2

on/off headache,not very intense, moves all over the head.spend the day lying on couch.can it be caysed by that?other possible causes?how to ease it?

Accepted Answer

Lying all day?: Humans are not meant to be lying down all day. That can lead to all sorts of symptoms, but the above symptoms in question can be caused by many other things too. Lying around all day can lead to balance problems as the sensory input and the brain&#x27;s interpretation is altered; can lead to blood pressure problems as that sensory input and the heart&#x27;s, vessels&#x27;, and brain&#x27;s responses are altered; etc.

Question 3

i keep getting headaches on the right side of my head especially when i move it quickly. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Headaches: No need to worry but you do need to see your doctor.  There are various kinds of headaches and he/she will help you determine what is going on and how to treat them.  Peace and good health.

Question 4

i've been having a headache for a couple of weeks. why? it isn't there constantly but when i move my head fast sometimes, it hurts slightly?

Accepted Answer

Sinus or dehydration: The two types of HA affected by motion and the most commonly missed causes of headache are sinus infection and dehydration. The brain is supported by suspensory ligaments that contain all of the actual sensory nerves inside your skull. Typically your brain floats but with dehydration there is increased tension on these ligaments and it hurts. However In your case I'd suspect sinus infection.

Question 5

does anxiety/stresscause a headache which hurts when i move my head its a pain at the back top and i've not had it before but i'm also the most anxious i've ever been is this caused by anxiety or something else?

Accepted Answer

: Stress causes headaches in many.  Headaches can be anywhere. Having a headache makes many more anxious and one can get into a positive feed back loop: head ache, worry about it, more headache etc. There are good treatments for anxiety and headache but must be directed at the cause(s). Cheeers.

Question 6

i have a realy bad headache what do you think it is? it only hurts when i jump or move my head a lot

Accepted Answer

Can be anything: It hard say without examining you first but i think it is better you see a doctor esp if you have any visual disturbances associated with it.

Question 7

i often have a headache on my left eyebrow, and it also hurts if i touch it or move my head. why is that?

Accepted Answer

Could be sinuses: You have sinuses over your eyebrows. It is possible that you have an infection there. If you have fevers, nasal discharge or if that area is tender to touch (as you sad it is) it would be good to see a doctor for an evaluation. Try using warm compresses on the area and taking an anti-inflammatory like ibuprofen until you can see a doctor.

Question 8

i sometimes have frequent headaches when i barely move my head, what can be the cause of this sensitivity?

Accepted Answer

Hard to Say: Without a more complete history and examination including appropriate imaging studies it would be  impossible to say. The origin could be from neck muscle issues or from the sinuses and middle ear. Your situation needs a pretty sophisticated or thorough workup to get resolved.

Question 9

i have a headache where every time i move my head suddenly, it hurts. how to treat this headache without taking pills?

Accepted Answer

Eat: If you haven't eaten for awhile, you may get a headache from having low blood sugar. Our brain needs blood sugar to function properly. If you eat something, you're blood sugar will go up and most likely your headache will go away. Some people experience headaches if you do not eat carbs for the same reason. Our brains love to use carbs for energy. Try a snack to see if the headache goes away.

Question 10

i have a tiny hard bump on my head it hurts its been there for a few years i get headaches often. the bump sorta moves back and forth?

Accepted Answer

Head Bump: A bump that you can move back and forth that has been there for years may be just a collection of fat cells called a lipoma.  They can sometimes get irritated and cause discomfort if hit repeatedly due to sticking out, but usually do not cause pain.

Headaches are likely muscle tension and unrelated to the lipoma, but if new or severe, it is important to see your Dr.
