What are the different types of headaches?

Tension headaches are located in the area where the muscles of the neck and the head meet.

Vascular headaches are the most severe and vary in their location, but are most often in the top half of the head.

Organic headaches most often affect children and are often the result of infections in the sinus, ears, nose, brain, or because of brain tumours (less frequent).
