Headaches & Migraines

The medical definition of a headache is pain or discomfort that is
not only confined to the head, but also in the scalp or neck. While
headaches are a common discomfort, the very serious ones are rare.

Usually, a change in lifestyle, learning to eat healthier and avoiding
stress, and relaxing more make people feel better. Many also take
medication – over-the-counter drugs and prescription that offer relief.1
The thing to remember about headaches is that they’re not
psychological. They’re a real physical illness. Contrary to popular
thinking, they are not caused by stress, but are as real and genuine as
heart disease or diabetes. It is true that stress can contribute to the
muscle tension in the head or cause changes in the brain’s blood
vessels causing pain, but researchers have established that headaches
come about as a result of involuntary biomedical changes in the brain.
