Headache

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A headache is when your head hurts. It is not when you hit your head with something and made it hurt that way, but when your head hurts from inside.

A headache can be caused by one of several things:

  • fever
  • Watching television or looking at a computer screen for a long time.
  • Being tired or sleepy.
  • As an effect of stress
  • By a disease called migraine. Migrane is a very bad form of headache, that comes again and again.
  • By other neurological conditions ('neurological' means touching the nerves and the brain), like with epilepsy

The word can also be used as a figure of speech, to describve something that is very difficult to do.
