Migraines/Headaches: Migraines are headaches thought to be caused by a vascular problem. Headaches can be caused by any number of things but commonly are from stress or not eating enough or eyestrain. Tension or stress headaches can occurs daily & generally resolve quickly esp. With tylenol (acetaminophen). Migraines are often more difficult to treat and often last for hours and are more severe or debilitating in nature.
