The Signs Of Mononucleosis

A Headache

Dreamstime

Even though it may feel otherwise, a headache is not a pain that occurs within the brain itself. Actually, although this organ is the one responsible for understanding when the rest of the body feels hurt, it does not feel pain on its own. Most of these aches occur within the muscles, blood vessels, and nerves covering the neck and head. The blood vessels and muscles can tighten and swell, and the nerves can experience pressure while alerting the brain of pain, resulting in the ache. Whether individuals think their headache is due to mono or migraines, it is important for them to see a doctor to pinpoint the cause and develop a treatment plan. Sometimes, all patients will need to do is change their sleeping habits. Other times they'll have to treat the true underlying cause, such as if mono is the cause.
