Health Conditions

Because organic headaches are caused by serious illnesses, any individual experiencing an unusually sudden or extremely severe headache should seek medical attention as soon as possible. Headaches that are accompanied by vision disturbances, numbness and/or weakness on one side of the body may be emergencies that also need immediate attention. Treatment may not be possible for organic headaches, but the condition causing the pain may be treatable.
