Apart
from the regular causes and certain diseases that might cause
headaches, there are a few other factors which might cause headaches.
After an injury, especially a major one, for example, an accident, a
person might complain of headaches. In this case, the person might
suffer from a concussion or a post-traumatic headache.
Concussion
If a person suffers a head injury and most
importantly loses consciousness after that, it is referred to as a
concussion. The person may complain of a headache once he regains
consciousness.
These headaches usually diminish with the
passage of time. If they continue or lead to drowsiness, then that
might be a cause of concern because this indicates the development of
a hemorrhage between the skull bones and the membranes of the brain.
If this condition exists, immediate medical attention is needed so
that the clot, so formed, can be promptly removed before it causes
any further damage.
However, it might happen in some cases
that, pain may develop after a long time. This indicates that the
hemorrhage was slowly growing and has now reached the stage where it
has started giving headaches to the patient, quite
literally.
Post-Traumatic Tension
As the
name itself indicates, this kind of headache results after a trauma
suffered on the head. Since the brain is such an important as well as
sensitive organ of the body, any injury to it is met with a lot of
anxiety as well as fear by the patient and his relatives.
It
is important to note here that even a mild head trauma is enough to
lead to one of these headaches. The symptoms include dizziness,
insomnia, difficulties in concentration and mood as well as
personality swings.
