TYPES OF HEADACHE

• Primary headaches- are benign, recurrent
  headaches not caused by underlying disease or
  structural problems. For example, migraine is a
  type of primary headache. While primary headaches
  may cause significant daily pain and disability,
  they are not dangerous.
• Secondary headaches are caused by an underlying
  disease, like an infection, head injury, vascular
  disorders, brain bleed or tumors. Secondary
  headaches can be harmless or dangerous. Certain
  "red flags" or warning signs indicate a secondary
  headache may be dangerous.
