- Book Synopsis
- Headaches are a common part of many people's lives - for the most part causing the occasional inconvenience. However, for some, headaches can be a major burden. Around 10 million adults in the UK experience migraines, and more than 500,000 people are living with daily, or near-daily, headaches. In Headaches, Dr Mark Weatherall explains the current scientific understanding of what headaches are, what causes them and why certain people get them. This book covers the headache basics (the common types and how they are diagnosed), how to manage headaches, the treatment options available and answers commonly asked questions. This easy-to-understand guide will give you all the information you need to better understand headaches and take the next steps in managing or seeking treatment for this condition.
