That question is more complicated than you think.

Don't take this is "fact" it is oonly my understanding and only part of the questions can i attempt to answer.

However, one answer to "what is a headache" is that it could be a symptom of another illness that may be causing the headache. These can include:

Tumor ,Abscess ,Hemorrhage, Hydrocephalus (abnormal build-up of fluid in the brain) ,Blood clots ,Head trauma ,Sinus blockage or Aneurysm. There are many more and im sure someone who know a lot more than i do will post a better answer than i have. or correct what i have said.
