What is a Headache?
A headache is a discomfort in the head or face that is commonly described as throbbing, continuous, acute, or dull. The kind, severity, location, and frequency of headaches can all vary substantially.
Headaches are a pretty common condition that almost everyone will suffer at some point in their lives. They are the most prevalent type of discomfort and are a major cause of missed work or school days, as well as visits to healthcare providers.
While most headaches are harmless, certain forms can indicate a more serious problem.
