General headache

The headache spreads throughout the head and neck. The pain is throbbing, pulling, stabbing, drilling, rumbling or dull; there are over one hundred different types of headache. A distinction is made between primary and secondary headaches. Primary headaches are, for example, tension headaches, migraines or vasomotor headaches. Secondary headaches are those that are triggered by another illness, such as a cold or sinusitis.
