The primary symptoms of a heat headache, and heat-induced migraines, involve pain in the head, often accompanied by other related discomforts.
Here's a breakdown of common symptoms:
-
Head Pain: This is the most prominent symptom, which can manifest in various ways:
- Location: Pain may be felt in the head, eyes, neck, or temples.
- Sensation: It can be described as throbbing, tightening, or a pressing sensation.
-
Associated Symptoms: In addition to head pain, individuals may experience:
- Fatigue: Feeling unusually tired or weak.
- Photosensitivity: Increased sensitivity to light.
- Dehydration: Feeling thirsty, dry mouth, and decreased urination (though not directly a symptom of the headache itself, it is often the cause and present concurrently).
In summary, a heat headache typically involves head pain, potentially in the head, eyes, neck, or temples, and may be accompanied by fatigue, photosensitivity, and, notably, dehydration.
