B. Clients Answers
1. Suspect-experience Clients
1st Client (Sulis Setiowati College student of Education of Informatic Engineering)

I feel my head is so shaking, my nerve was so strained, and so painful in my headtemple.

Its actually unpredictable, once or twice in two months maybe.

When I get stressed, this disease always attack me, I dont know why.

I dont know for sure, because its so painful.

Because I often get some problem, so this disease can attack me anytime.

I just stay at home.

I recover this pain by myself.

Just some pills with water.

2nd Client (Virginia Nurita College student of Education of Informatic Engineering)

I feel my head is heavy, and my eyes so faint.

Its unpredictable, fifth a years I think.

I think when I have a lot of thinkable moments, this disease always attack me.

I dont know, but its like a waveform, up and down.

People can get headache because of some factors: (1) Emotional, because of their bad
and unstable physical condition. (2) Stress, because they get a lot of pressure. (3)

Family history, when people has some family that had a chronic headache, they are
