Headaches are very common human conditions that tells us something is wrong in our body. Some headaches are mild and occur when we’re stressed, taking rest often solves them while some are serious and may occurs as a sign of another medical condition, these headaches often require medical treatments.

However, having constant headaches on one side of the head, either right or left should never be ignored especially if it keeps you from doing thing you often get done easily. In this article, I’ll like to enlighten you about 3 underlying conditions that causes constant headaches on one side of the head according to Healthline.

vasculities

This is an autoimmune condition in which the body attacks its own blood vessels like harmful intruders. A very common example is a condition called giant cell arteritis also known as temporal arteritis which affects the blood vessels and results in constant headaches on one side of the head. It occurs mostly on people above 50.

Brain aneurysm

This occurs as a weak spot in the brain which causes no symptoms unless it becomes torn resulting in life threatening hemorrhage (bleeding). When it is torn, its effects may cost the victim his or her life. Its signs include sudden severe pains on one side of the head resulting in body weakness.

migraines

If you observe that your headaches occurs on only one side of your head, it might be migraines. The most practical way of resolving this is getting adequate rest or seeking medical help.
