Everything You Need To Know About Headaches And Migraines

Published

A 1998 study by researchers at the Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health found that people with advanced degrees suffer more often from tension headaches than the less educated. Still, it is probably safe to say that everyone gets a headache at some time in their life, no matter who they are.

As one of the authors of the study said:

“Tension headaches are very common and have a large impact on society in terms of days lost from work and decreased ability to work effectively."

There are also other types of headache that are not so common. Here is a list of resources to read more about them:
