    Answer

    Headaches are very common. But if the pattern has increased, then you should talk to your doctor about this. There are lots of reasons for headaches, and most are minor. But do let your doctor review the pattern and type ofpain you are having and any other symptoms to help sort out the cause and of course offer helpful management!
