Each headache is a different story. It can be hard to predict when your next headache will strike and why. Triggered by a range of causes, including increased stress, fatigue, and hormone fluctuation, headaches can occur in anyone at any time. The next time a headache catches you off guard, take note. Keeping a detailed log of your pain is often your best defense. Be sure to describe the sensation, its location, and when it began. When you bring your notes to your doctor, he or she can advise you on the cause of your headaches and the right treatment for you.
