What is a Debilitating Headache?
A debilitating headache is an intense headache that makes it hard to function in daily life. It can cause throbbing pain, often focused on one side of the head, and may be accompanied by symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. People experiencing a debilitating headache may find it difficult to focus, move, or do regular tasks.

What causes these headaches?
Debilitating headaches have various triggers, depending on the type. Migraines, for example, are often caused by stress, hormonal changes, specific foods, or sleep disruptions. Common tension headaches may result from muscle strain due to stress, poor posture, or excess screen time.
Cluster headaches are rare but are intensely painful and can be set off by alcohol or smoking. Dehydration, (sleep issues too much or too little), and environmental factors like bright lights or strong smells can also play a role.
