When is Headache a Warning of a More Serious Condition?
Like other types of pain, headaches can serve as warning signals of more serious disorders. This is particularly true for headaches caused by traction or inflammation.
Traction headaches can occur if pain-sensitive parts of head are pulled, stretched, or displaced, as, for example, when eye muscles are tensed to compensate for eyestrain.
Stroke. Headache may accompany several conditions that can lead to stroke, including hypertension or high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, and heart disease. Headaches are also associated with completed stroke, when brain cells die from lack of sufficient oxygen.
Many stroke-related headaches can be prevented by careful management of patient's condition through diet, exercise, and medication.

Conclusion
If you suffer from headaches and none of standard treatments help, do not despair. Some people find that their headaches disappear once they deal with a troubled marriage, pass their certifying board exams, or resolve some other stressful problem. Others find that if they control their psychological reaction to stress, headaches disappear.
For those who cannot say no, or who get headaches anyway, today's headache research offers hope. The work of scientists around world promises to improve our understanding of this complex disorder and provide better tools to treat it.
