- Because of environment: going far, uncomfortable working postures, noisy and not ventilated work environment.
- Because of pathology in the organs such as: sinusitis, toothache, disease in the cervical spine, brain tumors, inflammation of the arteries in the head, face, neck, increased intracranial pressure, hypertension…
- Chronic migraine (Migraine also is common and account for about 10% of the population).
- Headaches because of poor blood flow to the brain (cerebral insufficiency).
You have had chronic headaches for 7 years, seen many doctors, done clinical tests (CT, X-ray, EEG, etc) so we can remove the pathology in the brain.
Do you have X-rays of the cervical spine? If yes, we can remove the pathology of the cervical spine. On the other hand, do you have headaches accompanied by visual disturbances? (see a highlight blind, widespread and occupy half of vision). Then, about 20 minutes, patients have migraines and nausea, vomiting, photophobia. If you have those symptoms, you can think of migraine.
Therefore, you should go to hospital to have the exact results.
