[gentle music] Welcome to Chasing Life. Around the world, more than 40% of people suffer from headaches. It's a real problem. We're talking 3.1 billion people around the world who miss work, they miss school, they miss some of life's biggest moments because of headaches, this throbbing pain that occurs in their head behind their eyes, sometimes on one side, sometimes on the other. It can be really, really confusing for people. They can appear out of nowhere, and they can be really, really disabling, tough to diagnose and then tough to treat. So today we're talking to Dr. Alexander Mauskop. He's author of the book called The End of Migraines, and he's the founder and director of the New York Headache Center. He's gonna tell us why headaches hurt, what's really happening in your head, and what you can do about it. Again, this affects a lot of people. I'm Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN's chief medical correspondent, and this is Chasing Life.
