21
recently medical researchers were not certain what caused them. Blew research is giving us more

as a very sharp, throbbing pain. Most headaches,
26
, are tension headaches. They are unpleasant, of course, but not as painful as the migraine

ache on both sides of the head or in the back or forehead. These headaches are caused by the tightening of the muscles of the head and neck, which

Caffeine and the medicine, called ergot, cause the blood vessels to narrow. Once the headache

40
on the head may help.
