Perhaps, the most common cause of headaches is dehydration. If someone is suffering from recurrent headaches, they may want to try drinking more water on regular basis.

Eyestrain can cause headaches. Eyestrain is often caused by using a computer for an extended period of time, reading in dim light, failure to get routine eye exams, or not wearing necessary corrective lenses. Taking frequent breaks from reading or computer use may help prevent eyestrain.

Besides taking breaks, someone should consider having an eye exam especially if they have not had one recently. If the person is having a headache due to eyestrain, they may notice that their eyes may feel tired or mildly uncomfortable.

A lack of sleep can also cause frequent headaches. When people do not get enough sleep, they can be prone to frequent headaches. One of the first steps to correct frequent headaches should be to ensure that the person gets enough sleep.

Stress is another common cause of headaches. If the person suspects that the headaches are caused by stress, the person may want to consider learning stress management techniques were even using biofeedback therapy to reduce the frequency of the headaches.

A person who is having frequent headaches should make an appointment to be examined by a physician especially if the headaches are not responding to over-the-counter pain relief medication. The physician can determine if the cause is due to an illness or abnormality of the brain, migraines, or other causes within the person's control like sleep deprivation.

Migraine headaches are problematic, severe headaches that are often hereditary. Migraines can cause sensitivity to sound and light, numbness in the hands, nausea, and vomiting. Migraines can also cause vision disturbances.

Migraines cause severe pain that occurs typically on one side the head. If a person is diagnosed with migraines, a physician may prescribe medication to reduce the frequency or severity of migraines.
