Headache refers to pain or aching in any part of head or upper neck
region. This pain may range from mild-to-moderate or moderate-to-severe. It can be temporary, recurrent or chronic. Headache causes are numerous and to provide effective treatment you must know the different types of headaches.
Medical science classifies headaches in to three major categories:
Primary headache: Almost 90% headaches are primary. These include migraine, tension headache and cluster headache.
a) Tension headache: This is very common among women and is generally associated with episodes of physical/emotional stress, anxiety, depression, etc. Physical condition like temporomandibular joint disorder or degeneration in the cervical spine or arthritic pain in the neck can also cause headache. This is a very common category and is generally age-related and it begins in middle age. Approximately 75% to 90% suffer from frequent or recurring tension headaches.

Talking About Feelings and Health Issues
The industrial age saw a lot of people work in one of the worst working condition in history. This was an age where man was seen as a machine whose feelings did not matter. The fact that most people had adopted the Calvinistic way of life and thinking did not matter. Most religions at that time disregarded anything that had to do with the human body including feelings. Hence, some people went as far as bottling up any health issues they had. Most people thought that sharing their health issues was only a preserve of the supernatural being that they believed in.
Unfortunately, the fear of expressing once feelings was carried on from this age. Expressing your feelings was seen as a weakness. This was especially so in cultures that encouraged people to adopt a stoic demeanor. The Victorian culture comes in mind where feeling where expression of one’s feelings was generally shunned upon. Kings and queens did not express their feelings let alone their health issues. This cultures has been carried on to the present day leadership. For example, most presidents in America are meant to portray a stoic look when in public. Hence, we did not know that President Kennedy had health issues that required him to be constantly sedated with pain killers until he was assassinated. This culture also extends to the general population. We know little about how our neighbors feel let alone their health issues.
Everyday health care for old people
Many people get worried-not only the old, but also health professionals and policy makers. The everyday health care for the people of the age 65 and even older can be difficult. The fact is; just the same way children are not and will never be small adults, the aged are not and will never be the gray-haired 40 years old. Old people are totally different from the inside to the outside.
Due to the old age, the effects on their functions is is highly evident for every body system. This is also true for the healthiest people whose age is 65years or more. The output of the heart reduces. Calcium in their bones and teeth moves into the blood vessels. Their vision is changed to cataracts dim. Hearing becomes a problem. Liver, kidney and lung functions slow down. They experience wear and tear within the joints with pain. Nevertheless, these alters do not equate automatically to disability. For everyday health care for the elderly, a healthy diet, regular exercise and intellectual arousal can to a great extent prevent and even delay diseases and disabilities.
