Many people are addicted to their daily dose of caffeine, a stimulant, found in tea, coffee, colas and also in some products, in which it occurs naturally.

Interestingly, there is a paradoxical phenomenon known as caffeine rebound according to which excess of caffeine can lead to headaches, whereas the recommended dose can lead to relief from the same. That is why it is an important component in many pain-relief medications especially those used for migraine.

Alcohol is a very common culprit leading to intense headaches. A hangover is not uncommon either. It is actually the ethanol found in alcohol that is the real culprit. Firstly, because it is a vasodilator so it may cause headaches in certain patients. Moreover, it is also a diuretic. So it leads to draining of the essential vitamins, minerals and salts from the body.

Apart from ethanol, congeners, which impart a specific taste to the alcoholic beverages, can also be a cause of headaches.

Apart from the above mentioned factors there can be several others that lead to a headache. For example, in some people eggs trigger headaches, in some stress acts as a trigger, and in others, their postures might trigger headaches. The key is to, however, stay away from the triggers as much as possible.
