What’s with the emotional headaches?

When the patient has the symptom of headache during emotional excitement, it is considered that the patient has neurovascular headache. In emotional excitement, the patient’s sympathetic nerves are in a state of excitement, then the body will secrete adrenaline, and adrenaline will make the blood vessels in the brain contract. When the blood vessels in the brain contract, the tension of the blood vessels increases, which will involve the painful fibers and cause the patient to experience headache symptoms. In addition, patients may also experience high blood pressure when they are emotionally agitated, and headaches may occur as a result of the increase in blood pressure. Arrhythmias, such as supraventricular tachycardia or frequent premature ventricular beats, may also occur in agitated patients, resulting in cardiac headaches.
