What causes a headache?
The exact cause of headaches is not completely understood. It is thought that many headaches are the result of tight muscles
and dilated, or expanded, blood vessels in the head. Other headaches may be caused by an actual problem in the brain, such
as a tumor or malformation of the brain, although this is much less common.
