Tension headaches are the most common, and what we think of as normal everyday headaches.
They feel like a dull ache with constant pressure around the front, top and sides of the head as if a rubber band has been stretched around it.
Stress is one cause, but there are lots of others, including drinking too much alcohol, not getting enough sleep, depression, skipping meals and becoming dehydrated.
Migraines
Migraines are less common. If a headache is recurrent and disabling to the point of stopping you from carrying on with daily life, it may be a migraine.
People describe migraines as a pounding or throbbing pain on one or both sides of the head.
Most people treat their migraines successfully with over-the-counter medication. If they’re severe, however, you may need stronger migraine-specific medication that is only available on prescription from a doctor.
Cluster headaches
Cluster headaches are a third type of primary headache. These excruciatingly painful headaches cause an intense pain around one eye. They're rare and are called cluster headaches because they happen in clusters for a month or two at a time around the same time of year.Pharmacy medications don't ease the symptoms of a cluster headache, but a doctor can prescribe specific treatments to ease the pain.

Let's look at de-stressing your diet six ways:
Keep carbs handy and healthy. Stress hormones behoove us to eat a higher carbohydrate diet, so we want to choose our carbs wisely by choosing foods that give us carbs, plus fiber plus nutrients, like fruits, vegetables, beans, and whole grains.
Omega 3s to the rescue again. Although the uplifting effect of Omega 3s on mood hasn't been proven quite yet, plenty of studies suggest a strong connection, particularly for one of the Omega 3s in fish.
Cut the caffeine. One researcher found that when people sensitive to caffeine eliminate it from their diet their mood and energy levels significantly improved.
Eat smaller more frequent meals through the day to provide your body with a consistent supply of energy and help you avoid feeling tired or overly hungry.
Eat breakfast. People who eat breakfast tend to have more consistent moods and are less likely to suffer food cravings later in the day.Alcohol is actually a depressant and overdrinking only adds to the stress in your life.
