I think it's quite OK to replace "suffer" with "suffer from".  | Note it is "suffer a" which may be replace with "suffer from a". |
I'd say that generally someone who is experiencing physical or mental pain or discomfort, suffers from ...........
She suffers from migraine. / He suffers from hypertension.
If something suffers an unpleasant or difficult experience, it happens to them.
She suffered a compound fracture. The Democrats suffered a big defeat.
She is suffering from a headache because she suffered a fall.
I wouldn't say: She is suffering a headache because she suffered from a fall.
Does this make sense? :D
