Hello all,

Does the below sentence mean I am still having a headache?

"I've had a headache since morning".

Beacuse I am getting different opinions on the internet, some say it means you no longer suffer a headche while others say you still have one.

I am comparing it with the below sentence.
"I've had this car for the past 1 year".

As I understand this means I still have the car.
So in the above case I am presuming I still have a headache.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Many thanks:)
 
Yes, it means I still have a headache.
 
Yes. The sentence about the car should not include "1". We just say "for the past year."
 
I have a headache = I have a headache now
I have had a headache = I have had a headache at some point in the past but I don't have it now
I have had a headache since this morning = My headache started this morning and I still have it.
