When a Headache Isn't Just a Headache

From Mark Foley, D.O., About.com GuideOctober 12, 2009

Follow me on:

With all of the hype surrounding flu season, especially the H1N1 variety, it's important to remember that a headache isn't always a headache. It can be a sign of a more significant illness so it's a good thing to take note. Do you have fever or other "flu-like symptoms" as well? Is anyone else sick in the household? Is this headache a bit different than your "usual" headaches?

Take time to learn more about influenza and the H1N1 virus.

Have you thought about a flu shot?
