This mnemonic “SINUS HAR PAIN” is a great way to remember the most important things that is related to headache warning signs of a underlying disorder.

I had made this mnemonic in my med years and helped me a lot to understand the various factors that pointed towards an underlying disorder albeit with symptoms of headache. 

If you are a medical/nursing student then this mnemonic will be a great leveller in exams where you have to recall so much in so less time
