Headaches come in a variety of severity and origins. The most severe is a migraine headache. I classify it as the most painful because we are the reason we get them. Migraines have an origin in the lack of oxygen to the brain. When the brain loses oxygen, the blood vessels contract to increase the speed at which the blood flows. This carries oxygen faster and thus increases total oxygenation to the brain. The problem is that sometimes this increased pressure causes issues inside the blood vessels, leading to inflammation.
