Glavobolja

Glavobolja, also known as headache, is a common symptom characterized by pain in the head, face, or neck. It can be mild to severe and may be accompanied by other symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light, and blurred vision. Headaches can be classified into primary and secondary types. Primary headaches, such as tension headaches and migraines, are not caused by an underlying medical condition. Secondary headaches, on the other hand, are caused by an underlying medical condition, such as high blood pressure, sinus infection, or brain tumor.

The exact cause of primary headaches is not fully understood, but they are believed to be related to changes in blood flow, neurotransmitters, and inflammation in the brain. Migraines, in particular, are thought to be caused by a combination of genetic, environmental, and hormonal factors.

Treatment for headaches varies depending on the type and severity. Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen, are often used to relieve mild to moderate headaches. For more severe headaches, prescription medications, such as triptans or ergots, may be used. Lifestyle changes, such as stress management, regular exercise, and maintaining a healthy diet, can also help prevent headaches.

If headaches are frequent or severe, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment. They can help determine whether the headaches are primary or secondary and recommend appropriate treatment options.
