Headache

A headache described a pain in the head that was experienced by a sentient being, such as humans and Gands.

If there was a trace of ammonia in a breathable oxygen atmosphere, it could cause beings to develop headaches. After she and her Rebel compatriots were rescued by Zuckuss and 4-LOM, Toryn Farr suffered from a headache while on the Mist Hunter, as a small amount of ammonia had remained in the air of the bounty hunters' ship after it was replaced by oxygen.

Strong sunlight and loud noise would sometimes cause headaches as well, as could lack of sleep. Pressure to the skull could also lead to headaches, as could a concussion. The Sith Lord Odion suffered from debilitating headaches during his childhood years, caused by his hypersensitive Force connection.

Commercial headache remedies, in the form of painkillers could be swallowed dry or taken with liquid, and could cure a headache. One type of headache remedy was a special type of white tablet taken with a glass of water. Capsules were another type of painkiller.
