headache is pain or discomfort in the head or face. Headaches vary greatly in terms of the location and intensity of the pain, and how often the headaches occur. The brain tissue doesn’t have pain-sensitive nerve fibers and doesn’t feel pain. But, other parts of the head can be responsible for a headache including:
A network of nerves that extends over the scalp
Certain nerves in the face, mouth, and throat
Muscles of the head, neck, and shoulders
Blood vessels found along the surface and at the base of the brain

Well exactly my point. Why is it always a headache and not something more clear of "I need more fluids" or "I need caffeine" type message (obviously not a typed message clarity but just something a bit more defined than headache)
