A headache is any pressure or pain in your head, ranging from mild to severe. Most headaches aren’t the result of a serious illness. Common factors include stress, lack of sleep, exposure to substances such as alcohol, and more.
Frequent headaches, however, can affect your overall quality of life. Sometimes it’s difficult to discern the difference from a headache and a migraine. Migraines are intense headaches that often come with additional symptoms, such as nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and seeing spots or flashing lights.
