If a person is used to a certain amount of caffeine intake daily, and they suddenly switch to decaf coffee, their body may experience headaches as their body begins to adjust to a lowered intake of caffeine.

These are called caffeine withdrawal headaches. These headaches have the dilated blood vessel component that occurs with migraines (because daily caffeine had been constricting your blood vessels and now it isn't), while also carrying with it the muscle pain component of tension headaches, causing pressure to be felt around the shoulders, neck, and scalp.

Caffeine can cause headaches when the effects of the drug wear off and you begin to "crash". Additionally, if you are a heavy coffee or soda drinking, quitting all caffeine intake has been known to cause some withdrawls including but not limited to headaches.

Caffeine is a common ingredient in many prescription and over-the-counter headache medications (see list below). Caffeine additives make pain relievers 40% more effective in treating headaches. Caffeine also helps the body absorb headache drugs more quickly, bringing faster relief.

The nutritional value of coffee is ranging from very very little to even less. People drink it mainly due to its content of Caffeine of which is a stimulant.
