How Can I Stop These Terrible Headaches?
Headaches are a non-life threatening disease. They won't kill you, but they can make your life a misery... unless you take time to understand them and then work out some strategies to cope.
The first thing is to visit your doctor or headache specialist and get a full checkup and investigation done. You may be lucky and your doctor will find an exact cause and treatment. It may be as simple as avoiding certain foods in your diet or some other factor that starts off headaches in you.
Your doctor may prescribe some medicines to stop each attack when it occurs and other medicines (called preventative medications) which stop or reduce the number of attacks that happen to you.
In addition, your doctor may outline some strategies to make your life less stressful and prone to headache triggers.
The news for most headache and migraine sufferers is good: in most cases there is a simple treatment which will stop or reduce the pain.
In this lens, I will give you some key facts about headaches/migraines and then suggest a number of such strategies that you can try out.

Headache (article)
In medicine a headache or Category: wiktionary - :cephalalgia|cephalalgia is a symptom of a number of different conditions of the head. Headache is caused by a disturbance of the pain-sensitive structures in the head. The brain in itself is not sensitive to pain, because it lacks nociceptors. Several areas of the head and neck have the pain-sensitive structures. The pain-sensitive structures are divided in two: within the cranium (blood vessels, meninges, and the cranial nerves) and outside the cranium (the periosteum of the skull, muscles, nerves, arteries and veins, subcutaneous tissues, eyes, ears, sinuses and mucous membranes).
There are a number of different classification systems for headaches. The most well-recognized is that of the International Headache Society. Treatment of a headache depends on the underlying etiology or cause, but commonly involves analgesics.
