Watch closely for changes in your health, and be sure to contact your physician if:

• Your headache is no better after one to two days or if it wakes you up at night.
• Your headaches get worse or happen more often.
• You develop new symptoms, especially fever, weight loss, or pain in your jaw.
• You have any problems with your medications.
• You are older than 50 and have new or more frequent headaches.
• You have had a recent head or neck injury or fall that is causing headaches.
• Your headaches occur after physical exercise, sexual activity, coughing, or sneezing.
• Your life is disrupted by your headaches (for example, you miss work or school regularly).

Remember, most headaches are not dangerous, just painful. This program can help you manage your headaches.
