Essential Information about Headaches to be Read First!
Headaches can be caused by a serious life threatening illness so it is important to rule out such conditions by seeking the advice of a health professional, before attempting any self-help course of treatment.
Although it is rare for headaches to be caused by serious illness, because it is a possibility, it is very common for people to seek the medical advice to rule out this possibility for peace of mind. We would recommend this course of action as worry and stress can be the cause of headaches by themselves.
This site is not intended to replace professional medical advice but as an additional resource to help you find headache cures and relief, however if you suffer a headache with any of the following symptoms you should seek medical advice immediately!
- A sudden onset, severe headache accompanied by nausea and vomiting

What are Headaches?
Headaches are symptoms and are not a disease; the symptoms can range from mild pain in tension headaches, that is merely an annoyance, to pain of such intensity that you can barely be aware of anything else, as with cluster headaches or migraine headaches.
The pain may range from a localised area of the head to feeling it is everywhere in the head and can extend down particularly into the back of the neck.
Such severe pain can bring normal everyday activity to a complete halt for hours or even days for a few individuals.Even so this does not indicate a serious or life threatening condition, yet because of the devastating effect on daily life, that fact can sometimes be of little comfort .
It is why this site was set up, to help you reclaim a life from the effects of headaches.
Who Suffers from Headaches? Apart from a few lucky individuals, most people will report having at least one headache or more in the last year, so probably if you are reading this your are experiencing regular or chronic headaches that can significantly impact on your life.
What causes headaches? There is no one single cause of headaches, so it is important to try to identify what causes yours! You may already have identified or at least have an idea of what causes your headaches although it is not always possible to find out the cause.
If you know what causes or triggers your headache that can help you cure or alleviate the situation, but the good news is that even if you can’t be certain of the cause it doesn’t mean that you can’t do anything to treat the symptoms using headache remedies.
