Burning headaches plague more people than you may have previously imagined. The term is not a medically recognized condition, but rather is just a layman term that is used quite often and universally to describe this annoying condition.

Have you been able to determine what might be the cause of your headaches on your own? People often are the best diagnosticians of their own conditions. I remember I was suffering from headaches for a couple days when I realized it was the bottled water I was drinking. Needless to say, I stopped drinking that water. Here are some possible causes of the burning headache.

What Area Of Your Head Hurts?

The burning headache might actually be a sinus headache. In that case, the pain is usually on the frontal part of the head, on the forehead, upper cheeks, and sometimes can even travel around the whole face. In other cases, this burning headache can be caused by fever. In this, the pain is usually on both sides of the forehead, which are the weakest points of sensitivity in our head.

Some Possible Culprits

We know that a fever can cause a burning headache and we also know that it can be caused by sinuses. In these cases, the pain is constant, and can be stinging and tingling, and not to mention burning. It can originate from any side of the head, but usually after a while it will travel to other areas as well. Some people tend to get thrusts of extreme pains. Although medically there is no proof as to what causes this sudden uprising in the burning headache symptoms, it is believed to be caused by pulsating nerves due to tension.

There are also some other causes of a burning headache. These are more serious cases such as tumors or growth in the head. In such cases, the pain is not constant like the ones listed above, but comes on and off. The pain is usually violent, far stronger than the ones you get for fever, and not to forget; it pulsates often.

It is likely that the bottled water that was giving me the burning headache was the result of chemicals. This could be the case with you as well. Acute mercury poisoning can also cause terrible headaches along with other heavy metals. Furthermore, you could be having allergic reactions to chemicals in foods you are eating that could be giving you a headache.

A big part of finding out what is causing your burning headache is to pay close attention to what you are eating and drinking. Go on a simple diet and then, one-by-one, add the foods you like until you start getting headaches again. This way you will know what is food or beverage is the culprit.

It is also believed that toxins and chemicals can also cause acute or burning headache. This is pretty common to many people, especially those who are not so favorable of newly painted houses, chemical labs, and so on. On top of these, even certain edible toxins and foods can cause burning headache, such as alcohol, caffeine, and so on. Alcohol and caffeine especially, are believed to be causes of many serious headaches that can cause the whole head to ache severely, with the nerves being extremely tensed.
