QUESTION: Thunderclap Headache

ANSWER: This type is characterized by the sudden onset of a very intense headache. Consider these headaches a warning sign to go to the ER immediately, because thunderclap headaches can be caused by conditions as serious as a ruptured aneurysm (ballooning of the wall of a blood vessel) or subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding in the brain).
