== So, what's it called when there's no actual pain? ==

I'm sure that the terminology used is medically correct, that it must involve pain. However, what about when the amount of stress tires one to the point where they are holding there head, as if to say "This is too much right now" but yet there is no actualy, physical pain sensation? I've always heard that called a headache, though I can see that being just a layman's usage.[[Special:Contributions/209.244.187.155|209.244.187.155]] ([[User talk:209.244.187.155|talk]]) 18:02, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

How common are headaches?

The article currently claims that toothache is more common than headache. This seems like an odd thing to say. Could someone cite a respectable source for it? --LostLeviathan 03:54, 9 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I agree as well. Toothaches are much less frequent for the general population than headaches. There are many more factors that can cause headaches than toothaches, such as the amount of nerves for instance. Grandeandy 22:56, 9 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

i third this. ive only had a couple of toothaches in my lifetime, but headaches happen all the time. we need a cite for that, or it gets removed. -- jeffthejiff 17:57, 30 April 2006 (UT

headaches are more common headaches happen more than toothaches toothaches are nothing compared to headaches i have more headaches than toothaches and headaches dont just happen because your stressed or got alot on anyways i think headaches are more common

I agree--72.74.119.137 (talk) 00:23, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of a person having a headache

Is this really necessary? The reactions that people have to headaches are very diverse, and we do not know if this person is having a headache or replicating it. I think a picture of a scan of the brain or something would be better, or even no picture at all. 71.169.185.194 (talk) 16:19, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So, what's it called when there's no actual pain?

I'm sure that the terminology used is medically correct, that it must involve pain. However, what about when the amount of stress tires one to the point where they are holding there head, as if to say "This is too much right now" but yet there is no actualy, physical pain sensation? Just pressure? I've always heard that called a headache, though I can see that being just a layman's usage.209.244.187.155 (talk) 18:02, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
