<h2>Which type of headache is a warning sign that you should see a doctor immediately?</h2>
<ul>
<li>Headache symptoms that usually start after waking up, as this may be a sign of abnormal increased intracranial pressure.</li>
<li>Sudden onset headache with severe intensity that causes you to wake up startled.</li>
<li>Frequent headaches occurring more than once a week and continuing for months, which may indicate neurological problems.</li>
<li>Severe headache often accompanied by neck stiffness, which may be caused by an infection in the nervous system.</li>
<li>Headache causing weakness in the limbs, abnormal vision, or hearing changes from usual.</li>
<li>Severe and sudden headache, which may be a sign of a stroke.</li>
<li>Headache accompanied by eye pain and followed by red eyes.</li>

<li>Headache with progressively increasing severity.</li>

<li>Headache that worsens when coughing, sneezing, or straining.</li>
<li>Headache that is consistently one-sided.</li>
<li>Headache occurring after head trauma.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
This pattern falls under severe headache symptoms (Organic Headache) that require urgent medical consultation to find the cause. It is recommended to observe yourself if you frequently have headaches, noting when and how the pain occurs. If the pain differs from previous headaches that resolved, becoming progressively severe without pain-free intervals, or increasing in frequency and intensity, it may indicate diseases such as brain hemorrhage, brain tumor, meningitis, glaucoma, or obstructive hydrocephalus, among others.
Common, non-serious headaches (Functional headache) can occur from various causes with varying pain levels, such as:
<ul>
<li>Tension-type headache may last for hours or even days. Some may feel nausea, slight blurred vision. This type of headache is common and often related to hot weather, insomnia, stress, working in the same position for a long time, excessive eye use, anxiety, alcohol consumption, smoking, or excessive intake of tea and coffee.</li>
<li>Migraine is a common headache characterized by one-sided throbbing pain, similar to a heartbeat, or severe pain around the eye socket or temple. The pain may switch sides between episodes. Migraine pain is often intense, sometimes disabling, and may be accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Paracetamol often does not relieve the pain, so medical consultation is necessary for appropriate treatment and medication.</li>
</ul>

<h2>What to do when facing headache symptoms?</h2>
For those who frequently experience intermittent headaches beyond normal, it is advisable to schedule a health check-up and see a doctor for diagnosis, such as measuring blood pressure, neurological examination, eye examination, and cervical spine check. Additionally, massage therapy, spa treatments, or acupressure can be beneficial as these methods help relieve headache symptoms effectively. Massaging or applying pressure to areas connected to the head can help alleviate headaches by promoting relaxation. Any method that makes you feel comfortable can be used. Exercise and eating a balanced diet according to the five food groups theory are also recommended practices, as they not only reduce the risk of headaches but also lower the risk of other diseases.
