Headaches

Many studies have revealed that stress can contribute to headaches, which are pains in the head or neck. A stressful incident preceded the onset of chronic headaches in around 45% of instances, according to one research of 267 persons with chronic headaches. A bigger study discovered that greater stress intensity was linked to an increase in the number of headache days per month.

Another research polled 150 military service personnel at a headache clinic and discovered that 67% of them said the stress caused their headaches, making it the second most prevalent headache trigger. Lack of sleep, alcohol consumption, and dehydration are also major headache culprits.
