Results from the study found that 66 percent of participants have headaches nearly every day. The research was presented Saturday at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Study of Headache in San Francisco. Weekly records kept by patients indicate that more than 70 percent record disrupted sleep, fatigue and headache-related anxiety or stress. Forty-four percent say their headaches affect their performance at work or school and 72 percent said the pain caused them to miss work or school an average of 3.5 days in the last six months. "We were very surprised to see that two-thirds of our study participants have pain more than 25 days a month and some have pain seven days a week, 52 weeks a year," said Kenneth Holroyd, professor of psychology at Ohio University and principal investigator on the study. "This type of chronic pain can ripple through your life and affect mood and function and your overall quality of life. That's definitely what we're seeing here."

Health Station Demo What is Blood Pressure? Blood is carried from the heart to all parts of your body in vessels called arteries. Blood pressure is the force of the blood pushing against the walls of the arteries. Each time the heart beats (about 60-70 times a minute at rest), it pumps out blood into the arteries. Your blood pressure is at its highest when the heart beats, pumping the blood. This is called systolic pressure. When the heart is at rest, between beats, your blood pressure falls. This is the diastolic pressure. Blood pressure is always given as these two numbers, the systolic and diastolic pressures. Both are important. Usually they are written one above or before the other, such as 120/80 mmHg. The top number is the systolic and the bottom the diastolic. When the two measurements are written down, the systolic pressure is the first or top number, and the diastolic pressure is the second or bottom number (for example, 120/80). If your blood pressure is 120/80, you say that it is "120 over 80." Blood pressure changes during the day. It is lowest as you sleep and rises when you get up. It also can rise when you are excited, nervous, or active.

The American Council for Headache Education (ACHE) is a nonprofit patient-health professional partnership dedicated to advancing the treatment and management of headache and to raising the public awareness of headache as a valid, biologically based illness. ACHE's educational mission reaches out to health career policy makers, employers, opinion leaders, as well as to headache patients and their families. Our goals are to empower headache sufferers through education, and to support them by educating their families, employers, and the public in general. We advocate individualized treatments, which combine the best of traditional medicine, alternative medicine, drug, and non-drug therapies. We do not advocate any specific approaches or medications. Through education in the causes and treatment of headache, sufferers can be empowered and equipped to seek effective therapies and knowledgeable health care providers who can aid them in achieving better quality of life. ACHE was created in 1990 through an initiative of the American Headache Society (AHS, formerly the American Association for the Study of Headache), an organization of more than 2,400 physicians, health professionals and research scientists. AHS physicians and ACHE lay members collaborate in producing educational programs and materials, coordinating the support groups, and undertaking public awareness initiatives.
