Most people experience headaches on occasion and typically recognize that not all headaches feel the same. The location and type of pain can be different for each person and have different causes. For patients who experience frequent headaches, they usually experience the same type of headache repeatedly. To solve the problem, understanding the type of headache is the first step in diagnosing the root issue in order to find a permanent solution. Headaches are classified as primary and secondary headaches, and each type affects the body in a different way.
