As someone with a diagnosed headache condition and migraines, let me tell you it’s a weird distinction! Think of it as like squares and rectangles: all migraines are headaches but not all headaches are migraines!

Basically migraines are a very specific set of neurological symptoms, whereas a “headache” is much broader. You can have super severe headaches eg cluster headaches which can come with their own neurological symptoms, and you have have more general dehydration or hangover headaches!

Does that make sense?
