On the other hand, headache is a symptom of numerous conditions ranging from common cold, flu, or a hangover to very severe conditions such as meningitis, stroke, or a brain tumor (see full list of conditions with symptoms of headache). Because of the range of possible causes, correct diagnosis is very important.

ANOTHER VIEW:
Eye is part of the sensory system. Therefore eye is part of the brain. Through eye, the light signal is modify to electric signal before send to the brain. If the brain can’t perceive the light signal very well, some stress signal will send out to the eye in order to perceive back a normal light signal. These include the ability of the eye to converge, to focus, refocus and etc. In this situation, when the eye cannot cope with it anymore, headache will occur. Anyway, this is one of the reason that can cause headache, however headache related to the eye is multifactorial. Any pressure or physical changes through the eye can also cause headache, such as glaucoma, optic neuritis, papiloedema, etc.

EFFECTIVELY MANAGING HEADACHE:
Managing a headache effectively may reduce its severity and prevent recurrence. There are many ways to manage your headaches.
Identify and avoid triggers that cause your headaches. Avoid overuse of pain relievers to reduce rebound headaches. Carry medications with you to promptly treat an emerging headache. Try medications with the fewest side effects, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Exercise regularly, eat well, and reduce stress to improve your quality of life. Partner with your health professional to identify the best treatment for your headaches.

Tension headaches
Tension headaches are characterized by constant headache pain that usually does not throb or pulse. Typically, there is tightness around the forehead that may feel like a "vice grip." Aching pain can also be felt at both temples or the back of the head and neck. Pain, fullness, or pressure usually occurs on both sides of the head rather than just one side. Tension headaches are not often associated with nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light or noise, and are not usually disabling. Episodes of tension headaches can last anywhere from 30 minutes to several days. If a person experiences tension headaches on 15 days or more per month, they are considered chronic.
Tension headaches are related to muscles tightening in the back of the neck or head due to stress, anxiety, fatigue, hunger, anger, poor posture, or overexertion.
Treatment for tension headaches usually includes aspirin, ibuprofen, or other nonprescription pain relievers. Prescription medications, such as antidepressants, may be needed. Additional therapies, including stress management or biofeedback, may be tried to reduce or prevent tension headaches.

Fair enough but there is differance between a serious and non serious headach and it is important not to confuse the two.
With a serious condition a head ach isn't the only sign the person will have
For instance with meningitis, the person will also have a stiff neck, restlessness the RASH etc.

Headache: Almost everyone gets an occasional headache and they are usually harmless. On the other hand, headache is a symptom of numerous conditions ranging from common cold, flu, or a hangover to very severe conditions such as meningitis, stroke, or a brain tumor (see full list of conditions with symptoms of headache). Because of the range of possible causes, correct diagnosis is very important.
Sudden headache depends on what is meant by "sudden" and can indicate some extremely severe conditions if its onset is rapid, severe, or seems unusual. A headache that comes on reasonably slowly over a period, such as in the afternoon at work, is most likely common headache or a tension headache. But the very rapid arrival of a headache, particularly an excruciating headache, can be a variety of very serious conditions like cerebral aneurysm or other brain condition. Also surprisingly common but not well-known is the sexual headache from sexual exertion that can cause a severe headache that can come on very quickly. Sudden and severe headache can also indicate numerous dangerous conditions (e.g. meningitis, stroke); seek professional medical advice immediately for persistent headache, excruciating headache, headache not responding to medication, or a "worst ever headache". A severe headache that wakes you in the night or a severe headache on waking up in the morning can also indicate a severe brain condition that may have occurred during sleep. If there is any doubt, seek immediate professional medical help. Sudden headache can also be the first instance of a chronic headache problem and hence caused by the various causes of chronic headache.
Chronic headache affects millions of people. There are various headaches that can occur chronically such as migraine, cluster headache, or tension headache. Chronic headache can also occur due to various underlying conditions, medications, or toxins.
Misdiagnosis and Headache: Research more detailed information about misdiagnosis of Headache, failure to diagnose Headache, underlying causes of Headache (possibly misdiagnosed), or research misdiagnosis of other diseases
Treatments for Headache: Various information is available about treatments available for Headache, current research about Headache treatments, or research treatments for other diseases.
Causes of Headache: Research more detailed information about the causes of Headache, other possibly hidden causes of Headache, or other general information about Headache.

TYPES OF HEADACHE
Types list: The list of types of Headache mentioned in various sources includes:
Common Headache Migraine Cluster headache Tension headache Chronic headache Vascular headaches - related to blood vessels; includes migraines and cluster headaches. Muscle contraction headaches - caused by the muscles of the face, neck or head; includes tension headache. Traction headaches - caused by the head or neck being pulled or moved. Infection headaches - caused by various infections Exertional headaches - occurring after exertion or exercise Helmet headache - pain focused on the upper half of the head. Post-traumatic headache - caused by head or neck injury.
Types discussion: When a person has a headache, several areas of the head can hurt, including a network of nerves that extends over the scalp and certain nerves in the face, mouth, and throat. The muscles of the head and the blood vessels found along the surface and at the base of the brain are also sensitive to pain because they contain delicate nerve fibers. The bones of the skull and tissues of the brain itself never hurt because they lack pain-sensitive nerve fibers. The ends of these pain-sensitive nerves, called nociceptors, can be stimulated by stress, muscular tension, dilated blood vessels, and others triggers of headache. Vascular headaches (migraines are a kind of vascular headache) are thought to involve abnormal function of the brain's blood vessels or vascular system; muscle contraction headaches appear to involve the tightening or tensing of facial and neck muscles; and traction and inflammatory headaches are symptoms of other disorders, ranging from brain tumor to stroke to sinus infection. Some types of headache are signals of more serious disorders: sudden, severe headache; headache associated with convulsions; headache accompanied by confusion or loss of consciousness; headache following a blow on the head; headache associated with pain in the eye or ear; persistent headache in a person who was previously headache free; recurring headache in children; headache associated with fever; headache that interferes with normal life. 1
Headaches are diagnosed as
Vascular Muscle contraction (tension) Traction Inflammatory Vascular headaches—a group that includes the well-known migraine—are so named because they are thought to involve abnormal function of the brain's blood vessels or vascular system. Muscle contraction headaches appear to involve the tightening or tensing of facial and neck muscles. Traction and inflammatory headaches are symptoms of other disorders, ranging from stroke to sinus infection. Some people have more than one type of headache.
Ninety percent of all headaches are classified as tension/muscle contraction headaches. ~Mysteriousgal~38494.945474537
