Secondary Headaches

Secondary headaches are headaches caused by an underlying health issue, rather than occurring on their own. Conditions such as infections, head injuries, sinus problems, or more serious issues like tumors can trigger these types of headaches. They are often accompanied by other symptoms related to the underlying condition. Unlike primary headaches, such as migraines or tension headaches, treating the root cause often alleviates the headache. If you experience a sudden, severe headache or changes in your usual headache patterns, it’s important to seek medical advice to rule out serious health concerns.
