An estimated 17.6 percent of women and 6 percent of men in the United States experience headaches on more than an
occasional basis, and some 20 million regularly experience cluster and migraine headaches. Common causes of headache
include stress; tension; anxiety; allergies; constipation; coffee consumption; eyestrain; hunger; sinus pressure; muscle
tension; hormonal imbalances; tempormandibular joint syndrome; trauma to the head; nutritional deficiencies; the use of
alcohol, drugs, or tobacco; fever; and exposure to irritants such as pollution, perfume, or after-shave lotions.
Headaches can also be a sign of an underlying health problem. People who suffer from frequent headaches may be
reacting to certain foods and food additives. Other possibilities to consider are anemia, bowel problems, brain disorders
such as tumors, bruxism, hypertension, hypoglycemia, sinusitis, spinal misalignment, toxic overdoses of vitamin A,
vitamin B deficiency, and diseases of the eye, nose, and throat. Dehydration also can cause headaches.
