Some people can have them for days though. In reality, I think there's a number of reasons. I think women get more headaches because of hormones. Two, I think that they get more headaches because most women today work outside the home as well as the home, so they don't have enough time to take care of things that can help to decrease headaches. Eating properly, sleeping properly, etc.
Migraine begins oftentimes in childhood.
LIttle girls, their average age of onset is 11 or 12 which correlates with when they first get hormones kicking in. Between 5 and 15f children have migraines. A tension type headache tends to be more olf a band around the head and doesn't have all those other symptoms that we talked about before. Sometimes a headache can be maintained or caused by the medicine you take. If you take medicine, analgesics too often, the medicine itself can cause a headache because you're using it too much.
