"get a headache" and "have a headache"

[Daruma]

Hello.

1. get a headache
2. have a headache

"Catch a cold" and "have a cold" don't mean the same thing, don't they? What about #1 and #2?

Thank you.

No they don't mean the same. Compare: 'If you don't stop that noise, I will get a headache.' and 'I have a headache because of the noise you are making'.
