Doctor of neurology Oksana Alexeeva from the Fomina Clinic explained that daily headaches are not normal and can be caused by frequent use of analgesics, migraines, jaw clenching, muscle tension, and chronic stress. She emphasized the need for a systemic approach rather than just pain relief and warned that changes in headache character require immediate medical attention.
Consensus
- Daily headaches are not normal but a signal from the body requiring a systematic approach instead of just painkillers.
- Frequent use of analgesics, especially combined ones, more than two to three times per week can worsen headaches.
- The brain may become accustomed to medication and react more intensely to pain signals.
- Migraine is a neurological condition that can progress to chronic form if not properly treated.
- Jaw clenching and tension in chewing muscles can cause persistent pain in the ear and temple areas.
- Chronic stress alters the function of brain pain centers, contributing to headaches.
- A change in the usual headache pattern—such as becoming unbearable or unresponsive to analgesics—is a sign to seek urgent medical care.
