Abstract
Background: Headache is one of the most common complaint people come across at some point in their life. It is one of the prime concerns to both surgeons and clinicians in the present day scenario due to its varied presentations. Headache has a diverse genre ranging from simple stress to complex stroke. Aims and Objectives: To find out cause for headache from Otolaryngologist’s perspective and its impact on health and how lifestyle variations can better the situation and bring in positive and progressive changes in day to day regime. Methodology: 119 patients who consulted the ENT outpatient department were clinically evaluated and diagnosis was made and treated accordingly. Results: Interlinking of Migraine with Laryngopharyngeal reflux disease was found to be the most common cause for headache at our set up. Conclusion: Going by the present trend, headache in any form should not be neglected. It can be mainly avoided by inculcating changes in daily routine and inhibiting stress which is an innate triggerer to headache in the present day setting.
