I've been getting these bad headaches every time I take a head bath, and it doesn't matter if the water's hot or cold. Sometimes the pain's so intense that I even feel like throwing up. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

The recurring headaches triggered by taking a head bath, regardless of water temperature, could be related to various factors, including scalp tension, sinus pressure, or sensitivity to shampoo or water pressure; consider trying the following: use gentle, fragrance-free shampoo; warm up your scalp with a gentle massage before washing; avoid using hot water, which can cause blood vessels to dilate and lead to headaches; try taking breaks during the bath to relax and breathe deeply
