Definition of Headache:
A headache is pain or discomfort in the head, scalp, or neck. Most headaches are due to tension, migraine, or a combination of the two. Serious underlying causes of headaches, like a tumor or a stroke, are extremely rare, despite the fact that many people worry about these possibilities.
Most people with headaches can feel much, much better by making lifestyle changes, including learning ways to relax, and occasionally by taking medications.
