Headaches fall into different types and can reveal more about our lifestyles, stress, anxiety, and brain health. We explore this intriguing topic with neurology, pain management, & orthopedic expert Dr. James Ghattas walking us through the demanding world of neurology residency to his current practice in regenerative orthopedics. Discover how common headaches, from dehydration-induced hangovers to severe cluster headaches, connect with stress, anxiety, and even our sleep patterns.
Our conversation unfolds to showcase the hidden connections between stress, anxiety, and neurological conditions manifesting through headaches and migraines. We dissect how modern lifestyle demands, particularly among young professionals, contribute to sleep disturbances and physical discomfort. Hear how the brain manages fear-driven thoughts during sleep and the implications on mood and cognition upon waking. We also touch on mysterious phenomena like sleep paralysis with a chilling college anecdote that blurs the line between reality and the supernatural.

From the variety of severe headaches, including cluster headaches and TACs, to non-surgical innovations for conditions like cranial cervical instability, listeners are provided a comprehensive update on contemporary headache management.
