A headache is a broad term used to describe pain or discomfort in the head or neck region. It is a common symptom experienced by many people and can vary in intensity and duration. Headaches can have various causes, such as tension, sinus problems, dehydration, eye strain, or even underlying health conditions. On the other hand, a migraine is a specific type of headache characterized by recurring episodes of moderate to severe throbbing pain, usually on one side of the head. Migraines often come with additional symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound, and visual disturbances (known as auras) that can precede or accompany the headache. These episodes can last for hours to days and can significantly impact a person’s daily activities. It is worth noting that while all migraines are headaches, not all headaches are migraines.
