By headache, we refer to the pain in any region in the head. It must be noted that a headache is a sharp or throbbing pain and normally we would find it difficult when we get a headache. There are several types of headaches like tension type headache, migraine, sinus headache, cluster headache, dehydration headache, alcohol headache, sleep apnea headache and altitude headache etc. It is noteworthy that tension headaches are one of the most common types of headaches in us.
Various health issues that are revealed by frequent headaches in us are
Blood pressure:
If the blood pressure or BP is not normal, then headaches can occur in us. In this scenario, it is necessary to check BP levels regularly.
Stress:
Everybody in the world has stress due to various reasons. Headaches can occur in us when we are stressed. Hence, it is essential that we must follow certain stress management methods like yoga, meditation, breathing exercises etc.
Indigestion:
Recurring headaches could be due to poor digestion or dye to compromised gut health. It has been brought out by a neurosurgeon that having indigestion can lead to headaches in us. So, please take care.
Eye issues:
The nerves present in the head would get strained due to poor eyesight. Truth is that developing short sightedness and long sightedness could cause frequent headaches in us. So, it is important to have a complete eye check up.

Point is that iron is involved in making serotonin and those with iron deficiency would have altered levels of serotonin in them.
