No danger.: Most headaches come out of the neck and are triggered by muscle tension, inflammation of the joints and soft-tissues of the neck, and sometimes the regional nerves. These headaches can become real severe (doesn't mean "migraine") at times. Neither ha is dangerous. True migraines are frequently harder to treat and can become chronic and repetitive. Get an exam to see which is your main issue.
