over the head. Frequently during an
attack of this headache the face is
flushed and the eyes Redeemed. Often
times the patient complains of chilly
sensations and of spots floating before
the eyes. The pain varies somewhat in
character, doubtless in consequence of
associate arrangements; the digestive
organs are particularly liable to be
affected where the blood is poor. There
is. also, as rule palpitation and other
disturbances of circulation. Sometimes
the pain is intense and Ihrobbing, and
there is sense of fullness in the head.
Again. it seems to lie just back of the
eyes, which feel as though they were
being tugged at and dragged back into
the head.
What are called congestive headaches
are characterized bv sense of pressure
and a feeling of heavinesS in the head.
Generally, also, the eyes are somewhat
bloodshot and the face is redeemed. The
pain is often intense and throbbing.
Drunkards are well acquainted with
this form OF headache. Among temper
common in hot weather, and is likely
to follow prolonged exposure to
the sun. Where this is the cause
the pain is usually felt through
out the head. Congestive headaches,
of less severity, however. are frequently
complained of by persons suffering from
hard coughs. The congestion in such
cases is produced mechanically, the cir
culation being Distracted by the inter-
ference in breathing. and the blood YES
sells diStended in consequence. Mechan-
ical congestion may be produced in
many other ways; even tight collar
will cause it, and the result will be a
headache
