Headaches are a common type of pain that can occur anywhere in the head or neck. It can range from mild to severe and can be caused by a variety of factors, including tension, dehydration, eye strain, sinus pressure, or even certain foods or beverages. Symptoms of a headache can vary but typically include a dull ache or pressure around the forehead, temples, or back of the head.
A migraine is a type of headache that is typically characterised by intense, throbbing pain on one specific side of the head. It is often accompanied by other symptoms, such as sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, vomiting, and visual disturbances or disarrays, such as flashing lights or blind spots. Migraines can last from a few hours to several days, and the pain can be so severe that it can interfere with daily activities.
