Important:Many headaches are linked to eye problems. See an eye doctor if you have frequent headaches!

14 Types of Headaches:

1. Exertion Headache**
Pain on forehead/top of head after physical activity

2. Tension Headache**
Mild pressure around forehead and temples (most common type)

3. Migraine**
Intense throbbing on one side, often with nausea and light sensitivity

4. Cluster Headache**
Severe stabbing pain around one eye, comes in groups

5. Spinal Headache**
Back/top of head pain after spinal procedures

6. Ice Pick Headache**
Sharp, sudden stabs lasting seconds

7. Sinus Headache**
Forehead/cheek pain from sinus pressure or allergies

8. Caffeine Headache**
Front head pain from too much or too little caffeine

9. Hormone Headache**
One-sided pain during menstruation

10. Post-Injury Headache**
Whole head pain after head trauma

11. Hemicrania Continua**
Ongoing one-sided headache

12. High Blood Pressure Headache**
Back of head pain - **seek emergency care!**

13. Rebound Headache**
From overusing pain medication

14. Thunderclap Headache**

🔴Methods of Measuring Blood Oxygen Level🫀⤵️🔹

1. How It Works
• A clip-on pulse oximeter (finger or toe) shines red and infrared light through the skin.
• A sensor on the opposite side detects how much light passes through.
• Because oxygenated and deoxygenated blood absorb light differently, the device calculates your SpO₂ (oxygen saturation) and pulse rate in seconds.

2. Where to Place It
• Fingertip is most common.
• Toe if fingertip readings aren’t reliable.
• (Special probes can go on an earlobe or forehead.)

3. Interpreting SpO₂ & What to Do
95%
• Considered normal.
• No extra oxygen needed; just routine checks.
#91–94%
• Borderline low.
• First, make sure the sensor is positioned correctly.
• If still low, start supplemental oxygen at about 2 L/min and adjust until SpO₂ rises above 95%.
#85–90%
• Moderate hypoxia.
• Elevate the patient’s head and encourage deep coughing and breathing.
• Suction airway if secretions are present.
• Give oxygen and titrate to reach SpO₂ > 95%.
• If there’s no improvement, be ready to assist breathing manually or intubate.
85%
• Severe hypoxia.
• Administer 100% oxygen immediately.
• Sit the patient upright; encourage deep breaths and suction as needed.
• Provide manual ventilation and prepare for intubation if necessary.
• Consider reversing any drugs that might depress respiration.

Note: Always interpret SpO₂ in the context of the patient’s overall history and physical exam—never treat the number in isolation.
