Coffee headaches: The Caffeine in Coffee narrows the blood vessels that surround your brain, when you stop taking it they expand again, and that can cause pain. Long term use of 1-2 cups especially in the morning, your body becomes accustomed to having that caffeine,and develops a habituated pattern. When Caffeine is not delivered to your brain, withdrawal effects result. Try lower caffeine products like tea.
