10 Symptoms of Influenza

Symptom #6: Headaches
Headaches can be quite unpleasant and can afflict us even when we are not ill. Quite often, they cause stress, which leads to an increase in blood pressure. At other times, they can be caused by an illness, and one such illness is influenza.
When you have the flu, the headaches will usually be accompanied by a high fever. As your body heats up, the blood vessels dilate, and this places pressure on the surrounding tissues. This pressure often causes a headache, and it can range from mildly uncomfortable to downright debilitating.
