Headaches
Medical professionals think the underlying mechanisms of chronic headaches and fibromyalgia are closely related. According to one study, 42 percent of those with persistent headaches also experienced tender points, much like people with fibromyalgia. Some believe both medical issues may be linked to the nervous system, resulting in heightened sensitivity to stimuli.
Fibromyalgia headaches are excruciating due to increased sensitivity to pain. These headaches frequently exhibit the symptoms like acute or pulsing pain, the discomfort that is isolated to one side of the head or reaches the eye, and pain that extends to the neck and shoulders. Some people also suffer pain around the neck and head, tender points, nausea, dizziness, and sensitivity to sound, light, and smells.
Migraines can sometimes be a symptom of fibromyalgia headaches. Muscle tension is less of a factor in migraines than circulation problems, and these excruciating headaches are frequently chronic. Other symptoms of migraine headaches are extreme fatigue, tight joints, tingling, and sleep issues. Many migraine patients may also experience severe depression.
