I’ve been having headaches for a long time. They start almost every day around noon and last until the evening. I told my family, but my mom keeps saying, “It’s just stress, it’ll pass.” I’m worried it might be something serious, but could it really be something simple like she says? Do you think I should see a doctor?
I had a similar situation, my head was constantly aching throughout the day. At first, I thought it was due to stress, but it turned out to be sinusitis. I think you should see a doctor.
By the way, how old are you? Is the headache related to another complaint, like nausea?
@kahvebitmeden I'm 22 years old, I have no other symptoms, just sometimes very light dizziness but it's not frequent.
Dizziness and headaches during the day... If you're not drinking enough water or if there's a blood pressure imbalance, this could also cause it, but you should see a doctor for a definitive diagnosis. Chronic pain can be important signals.
@camkenari Sinusitis usually causes pressure around the face; the original poster didn’t mention that. We shouldn’t jump straight to calling it sinusitis.
Exactly, go to the doctor, don't just go by what your mother said.
The fact that it starts at the same time every day is a bit noteworthy; I think you should take a look at your sleep and eating routine. For example, are you having breakfast late? It could be low blood sugar or a change in blood pressure, so I’d say check whether your morning routine might be having an effect.
If it starts around noon every day, I think you should consider environmental factors as well. For example, could there be a light, screen, or strong smells you are exposed to at that time? If it's linked to a regular trigger, this information could help your doctor.
Do you consume caffeine during the hours when you have a headache? Drinking coffee or tea in the morning and experiencing a decline by noon can lead to headaches. Think about it, is there a connection?
If it happens at the same times every day, it could be a hormonal trigger. In particular, fluctuations in estrogen can increase migraines or headaches during certain cycles in women. Keep track of the times close to your menstrual cycle to see if there's a connection.
