Do not ignore frequent headaches, doctor told the scary truth of brain cancer!

Headaches are a common problem, affecting millions of people. About 10 million people in the UK suffer from severe headaches or migraines. Although it is normal in most cases, in some cases it can also be a sign of a serious illness like brain tumor. Now, pediatric doctor Meghan Martin has told such signs related to headaches through social media, which can prove to be dangerous to ignore.

Dr. Martin told his 1.6 million Instagram followers that if headaches occur most commonly in the morning, it could be a 'red flag'. He also said that if the headache is happening on a daily basis, then it is a matter of even more concern. Also, persistent vomiting and nausea along with headaches are a sign of 'double red flag'.
