national headache week June 1 to 7 is National Headache Week. Nearly everyone has had an “occasional” headache – that is pretty normal. It is those severe, lengthy, or recurrent headaches which should concern you. The signs and symptoms of a headache depend on what type you have. Here are the primary types: Tension: Steady pain over your entire head on both sides. The pain may feel like a tight band or vice putting pressure around your head. This is the most common type. Migraine: Severe pain felt on one, and sometimes, both sides of your head. The pain is mostly in front around your temples or behind one eye or ear. Nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound may also occur. This may last a few hours to a couple days.

Cluster: Sudden sharp pain or burning sensation on one side of your head, usually radiating from the eye area. The pain may last minutes to hours and recur later in the day. Sinus: Pain behind your forehead, the bridge of your nose, and cheekbones. This pain may coincide with nasal congestion, and moving your head may intensify your pain. Not all headaches require medical attention, but you should talk to your doctor about your headaches if: •

You have several headaches per month lasting several hours or days each

•

Your headache is sudden and severe

•

Your headaches disrupt your home or work life

•

Your headache is associated with nausea, vomiting, fever. Convulsions, confusion, loss of consciousness, a head injury, pain to the eye or ear, or vision or other sensory problems.

Visual: W hat people see, specifically your body language – this is 55%

Some distracting mannerisms: monotone voice; read material; talk to screen; say “um” and “ah”; play with pointer, pen, market; too much or too little movement; and playing with change in pockets. 2008 Trailblazers “A tradition of pioneering spirit has built Utah into one of the nation’s strongest states for business today.
