Caffeine Headache: one usually will get a headache as a withdraws symptom from caffeine. The more one drinks caffeinated beverages, the sooner the headache will come if no caffeine is ingested. Other people do get headaches secondary to caffeine.

Possible: The most common headache related to caffeine is a "withdrawal headache" which occurs in frequent drinkers of caffeinated beverages when they stop drinking. The body builds up almost a dependence on caffeine. Some patients may actually experience headaches that are caused by caffeine.
