Q: i have headaches basically every day. however, i drink enough water, take breaks from screentime often, sleep well, and eat healthily. is there a reason why my headaches won't go away?

: In my experience the commonest type of daily headaches turn out to be muscle contraction tension type. These are usually continual, dull rather than throbbing headaches. However it's best to consult a neurologist for an accurate diagnosis and any appropriate testing. Stress management therapy is often helpful.
