Answer 1

Headaches are one of the most common pain-related health problems in both children and adults. You may have a headache along with another minor health problem such as a sore throat, cold, or sinus problem.

Types of headaches

The most common types of headaches usually are not serious but may occur again and again.

Tension headaches are the most common type of headache and are often caused by stress and emotional strain. Most adults have tension headaches from time to time. See an illustration of possible areas of pain from a tension headache.
Cluster headaches
Migraine headaches. Approximately one-third of people who have migraine headaches first began having them as teenagers.
Common causes of headaches

Common causes of headaches include:

Alcohol, caffeine, or other drug use or withdrawal.
Changes in the levels of chemicals in the body (neurotransmitters).
Coughing or sneezing.

Dental problems or procedures, such as pain from grinding the teeth or from a root canal.
Eating or drinking cold foods and fluids.
Emotional stress.
Exposure to smoke or fumes from chemicals, including carbon monoxide.

A head injury:
Injury to the brain
Fracture of the skull
Bleeding in or around the brain
Brain tumor, which causes swelling within the brain.
Infection in the brain (encephalitis) or of the membrane surrounding the brain and spinal cord (meningitis).
Stroke, a problem that occurs when a blood vessel (artery) that supplies blood to the brain bursts or is blocked by a blood clot.
A rupture of a blood vessel with bleeding in or around the brain (aneurysm)
Headaches and other health conditions

Other health conditions that can cause or contribute to headaches include:

Alcohol, caffeine, or drug abuse, overuse, or withdrawal.
Fibromyalgia, a condition that causes widespread muscle and soft tissue pain and tenderness.
Glaucoma, an eye disease that damages the nerves at the back of the eye.
High blood pressure (hypertension).
High blood sugar (hyperglycemia) or low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
Infection in the sinuses, such as sinusitis or an abscess.
Inflammatory problems , such as arthritis, lupus, or temporal arteritis.
Kidney disease, which causes wastes to build up in the blood.
Low calcium levels in the blood (hypocalcemia) or overactivity of the gland that helps control the release of calcium into the blood (hyperparathyroidism).
Lyme disease, a bacterial infection spread by certain types of ticks.
Mental health problems, such as anxiety or depression.
Problems with pregnancy, such as severe high blood pressure (preeclampsia).
Sleep problems, such as insomnia or sleep apnea.
Thyroid problems, such as hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism.

Answer 2

Sounds like you're experiencing a classic migraine. Since you are 10-weeks pregnant, you need to see your doctor first thing tomorrow morning. Even if the migraine is gone, you need to at least contact your doctor, tell him how it felt, and perhaps he can prescribe something safe for you in case it shoud return in the middle of the night or at some later date. Meanwhile, having experienced migraines since the age of three, I can tell you what helps me when I don't have failed to renew my medication: Though most doctors recommend placing an ice-pack on your forehead, I have found that rubbing an ointment like Icy Hot onto my forehead, then placing an heating pad (set as hot as I can handle) on my forehead helps way more than an ice-pack. Have someone massage the back of your neck and shoulders. If you are alone, massage your forehead....hard! Use a vibrator with a high-heat setting not only on your forehead, but your entire head, including your face. Concentrate on the areas around your nose and just above your eyebrows, as this could be a sinus headache. But the severity of the headache leads me to believe it not. As soon as possible, retreat to a perfectly quiet cool dark room and stretch out on the bed. Remain perfectly still even though you may feel like ramming your head through the wall. If this is a migraine, it's extremely important to try and stop all eye movement, even while your eyes are closed. Sometimes, certain scents can make your headache worse. Personally, I find that having a humidifier filled with Vicks liquid inside an extremely cold room is the best set-up. Place it next to your bed so that the vapors can reach you. Remember, you'll have a heating pad on your forehead, so you're not going to be thinking about the cold if it's helping your pounding head. In the end, sleep sometimes makes it go away. If you feel nauseated, by all means, go ahead and throw up, because this can also sometimes bring a sudden halt to the migraine. Hopefully this is something you'll just experience once during your pregnancy and maybe never again for the rest of your life. My best to you. By the way, I have never found an over-the-counter medication that claims to help migraines work. That's why it's important for you to contact your doctor. Only prescription medication has ever worked for me.

Answer 3

The inter-cranial pressures increase, producing the pounding headache sensation.
This can be due to increased blood, or it can be due to constricting of the veins and/or arteries. (less blood). Blood pressure too!
You can also get a headache from nerve damage, such as pinching in your neck/back/shoulder etc.

Answer 4

I think that what happens is that the blood vessels constrict. That is why you should drink coifee for a headahce, because it opens up the vessels.
