Headaches

Introduction/Background
According to Dr. Richard Lipton and associates, three women experience migraines or severe headaches that may cause vomiting, nausea, or sensitivity to light per every one man. This study was performed in the U.S. as well as another one showing that 18% of women experience migraines as opposed to 6.5% of men, which makes it one of the most debilitating issues that women face. (1) Research has shown that women could have a higher percentage due to menstrual cycles and use of birth control pills which cause hormonal changes for them. Females could also experience more headaches and migraines because they are more susceptible to things such as red wine, aged cheeses, coffee, Nicotine, oversleeping, fatigue, changes in atmosphere pressure, high altitude, stress and emotional upset. (2)   After reviewing these statistics, we decided to test whether they are accurate or just speculation. Our hypothesis is that women will get more headaches than men, and also more severe headaches than men, due to the fact that women have a lower tolerance for everyday occurrences such as stress, sleeping too little, and caffeine.    
Methods
In order to test the research, we developed a survey of questions that dealt with the topic of headaches, as shown in figure 1.
