Major headaches can have many different causes, one of which is swelling in the brain. Another is bleeding insidethe skull. Remember what happened to the actress Richardson? Worse sign is unusual dowsiness.

Best to have your headaches evaluated by a doctor.

If everything checks out OK shower to back of your neck and gently turn head from side to side under warm shower helps.
