Dr. Ajithkumar often sees patients who suffer from headaches. To determine the underlying causes, he thoroughly assesses factors such as eating patterns, lifestyle, sleep habits, and work style. Each of these can contribute to headache symptoms. Certain characteristics help identify the type of headache. For instance, heaviness that worsens when bending down, throbbing pain, or feverish sensations might indicate sinusitis. Migraines often start at sunrise, peak when the person is hungry, and diminish after sunset, typically presenting as a one-sided throbbing pain. Other headaches can be linked to hypertension or eye problems.
