There are several different kinds of headaches, but the most prevalent types are primary and secondary headaches. Primary headaches involve a physical issue in your head or brain. These headaches usually involve mental trauma or deep conditions that require extensive treatment.
Secondary headaches, on the other hand, arise from causes that are not physically related to your head. You might get this from bad digestion, poor posture, or undue stress. These are far more common and far less serious. Odds are that the headache you are suffering from is a result of these secondary causes.
Neurological problems are often complex. This is because your nervous system is one of the most integrated aspects of your physiological health. As such, most neurological problems are impacted by the healthiness of the rest of your body. Poor health in other areas can contribute to poor neurological health. This is especially evident in headaches.
