  • Neurology

Context:

  • Headaches are a common symptom with diverse etiologies.
  • Understanding headache classification is crucial for diagnosis and management.

Purpose:

  • To outline the classification of headaches into primary and secondary types.

  • To highlight drug-induced headaches and their potential triggers.

Summary:

  • Primary headaches include migraine, tension-type, and cluster headaches.
  • Secondary headaches can arise from hypertensive encephalopathy, lung diseases, metabolic/endocrine disorders, and electrolyte disturbances (e.g., calcium level changes).
  • Medications like ibuprofen, immunoglobulins, antibiotics, nitroglycerine, and calcium channel blockers can induce headaches or aseptic meningitis.
