The location of your headache can provide clues about its cause. Forehead pain may be due to eye strain from screen use, while sore temples can be caused by toothache, tension headaches, or migraines. Pain at the back of the head can be attributed to tension headaches, neck strain, or, in rare cases, a blood vessel leak. A headache concentrated on one side could indicate a migraine, while pain behind the eyes may be a sign of sinusitis. It's important to seek medical attention if headaches are accompanied by fever, changes in vision, or intense pain. Most headaches are benign and can be relieved with rest, painkillers, and appropriate self-care measures.
