Almost everyone suffers from a headache occasionally. But some people suffer from repeated, frequent headaches.  What is headache? What causes it? What can be done about a headache? What research is being done on headaches?  The dictionary defines  headache simply as "a pain in the head." What most people mean by headache is a pain which lasts several minutes or hours.  It covers the whole head, or one side of it, or perhaps the front or the back of the head. To add to the confusion about a definition, some people call tight feeling in the head a headache.

He added, "Sometimes it is wiser to stand still than to advance in darkness. A headache is important also because it interferes  needlessly with normal, happy living.
