Headache is a very common complaint during the summer season. Many patients visit the clinic with complaints of headache that increases with heat, sun exposure, dehydration, or fatigue.
Summer headache may look simple, but if ignored, it can affect daily routine and quality of life. Understanding the cause is the key to proper treatment.

Common reasons include:
Dehydration (most common cause)
Excessive sun exposure
Heat exhaustion
Low blood pressure due to fluid loss
Disturbed sleep due to heat
Skipping meals
