? Migraine ?: Migraine simple means vascular & is most common mechanism of headaches. Check pulse & if in time with the throb, this strongly supports theory. Many bad treatments marketed. Migraine is a behavior under mind/brain control & can be effectively treated. Ideally stopped (dysfunctional). Common patterns: more common in women, perfectionism, not living up to own internalized expectations, etc.
