Dear Lala Ram ji,
Headache that lasts for two to three days continuously can be due to multiple reasons like tension, lack of sleep, eye strain, dehydration, sinus issues, or even high blood pressure. It’s important to observe any other symptoms that may be associated.
Common Causes of Persistent Headache:
-
Stress or tension-type headache (dull, aching pain on both sides)
-
Migraine (pulsating pain, sometimes with nausea or light sensitivity)
-
Sinus congestion (pain around forehead, nose, eyes)
-
Eye strain (due to screen use or vision issues)
-
High BP-related headache (usually at the back of the head)
When to See a Doctor Immediately:
-
Severe headache with vomiting or vision changes
-
Headache with high fever or stiff neck
-
Sudden “worst ever” headache
-
Headache after injury or fall
Tips for Relief at Home:
-
Drink enough water
-
Take rest in a quiet, dark room
-
Avoid screen time
-
Use cold compress or forehead massage
-
Manage stress through breathing exercises
If your headache persists beyond 3 days or worsens, consult a doctor.
