Headache is a very common term that we hear every day. Everyone suffers from it  despite their age. There are various reasons for headache. Mostly, we do not care about a headache.

Headache can be due to any reason. Sometimes, it is due to simple reasons like stress, heatstroke, fever, cold, or an allergy. But in some cases the cause could be very severe like a blood clot in the brain, tumor, cancer, migraine etc. According to doctors, skull and brain tissue is incapable of spreading pain and any blood vessels, and tissues around the neck are capable of causing pain.
