13 Early Warning Signs Your Body Is Battling Silent Inflammation

11. Headaches: The Persistent Throb

Beyond common tension or stress headaches, persistent headaches, especially those that are chronic, severe, or unresponsive to typical remedies, can be a potent signal of underlying inflammation. Inflammation, particularly neuroinflammation (inflammation within the brain) or systemic inflammation affecting blood vessels, can directly contribute to the frequency and intensity of headaches, including debilitating migraines. Understanding that these throbbing, recurring pains might not just be a symptom of stress, but a direct manifestation of an inflammatory process, can lead to targeted interventions that offer significant relief and reduce their disruptive impact on your life.
