Headaches are one of the most common occurrences in the adult population in North America and probably in the world. That probably isn’t a surprise considering how much stress and overworked we are. Headaches have an enormous impact on society due to missed workdays and the loss of productivity when one is dealing with the pain, resulting in huge costs over time for any employer.

“Headache” is usually described as an aching or pain that occurs in one or more areas of the head, face, mouth, or neck. Headaches can have many causes, but serious causes of headaches are rare, however, anyone suffering with a pattern of headaches should pay particular caution that the pattern does not change or become more frequent. This could signal the possibility of a more serious issue. A headache that becomes worse over time, say in a period of 6 months or possibly less depending on the severity of symptoms, especially if most prominent in the morning or if accompanied by neurological symptoms would warrant a call to your physician.

Question by proud mommy of Adriana and Chloe!!: another question for my severe headache during pregnancy question?
i posted about having severe headaches during my pregnancy. They have been nonstop for about a week now, nothing seems to help… some of you answered to see the doctor about it, and i really appreciate the feedback.
I have a check up appointment on Thursday, i was wondering if i should wait to talk to the doctor about them then, or go ahead and make an appointment sooner?
this is my second pregnancy, and i didn’t experience this with my first, so im not sure if its something that i should be really concerned about, or something that could wait a few more days?

Question by ACJ Mom: Migraines or Sinus headache in pregnancy, which one?
I’m currently 38w3d’s pregnant and having terrible headaches for past couple of days. Mainly it’s on the right side of my head that hurts. It feels like someone is poking my brain, like it will burst at any time. To try to ease the pain, I’ll rub my temples but that doesn’t help that much. Does this sound like a migraine or a sinus headache? What are the best remedies for it to go away? Thanks in advance!
My blood pressure has been checked and it’s not high at all. Also I’m not seeing bright spots or black outs. Just to add if I inhale (like take a deep breath), I can feel it start to throb a bit. Also I have doctor’s appt tomorrow, so well see but just wanted some advice beforehand.

Question by K Mom: Do women get headaches when they start menopause?
I’m 49 and had a partial hysterectomy about 25 years ago, so I don’t “physically” know if I”m entering menopause. But recently I’ve been having a lot of headaches. 2 and 3 times a day. Sometimes they last for an hour, sometimes they last over 4 hours. Sometimes they come in cycles (every 3 – 4 minutes with throbbing at the temples), sometimes my head hurts so bad it makes me want to vomit.

My co worker says I might be in menopause…could that be?
