 How to Treat the 5 Most Common Headaches
Health.com shares a cheat sheet to identifying and treating your pain
It's critical to identify which type of headache you suffer from so that the correct treatment can be prescribed.

 There are statin alternatives -- but check with a doctor first

Looking back on the last few years of my mother’s life, with 20/20 hindsight and the belated knowledge that came from four years of reporting about aging for The New York Times, my single biggest mistake was not finding a doctor with expertise in geriatrics to quarterback her care and attend to the quality of her life, not merely its length.

| Arteriosclerosis and Atherosclerosis |  Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen and nutrients from your heart to the rest of your body. Healthy arteries are flexible, strong and elastic. Over time, however, too much pressure in your arteries can make the walls thick and stiff — sometimes restricting blood flow to your organs and tissues.
