A headache is defined as pain that occurs anywhere in the head or neck and can be the result of low sodium levels. There are many types of headaches such as tension, migraines, cluster, and more.

Headaches are a very common non-specific symptom that can be seen in various conditions such as viral infections, dehydration, hunger, bacterial infections, and more.
