It is important to have a full medical and neurological evaluation if:
- Headaches have just started to occur regularly
- The intensity or symptoms of the headache are different from your previous experience of common headaches
Based on the history of your symptoms and a physical examination, a physician will decide whether you should be treated for migraine-tension headache, or whether further evaluation to rule out other causes of headache is necessary. These tests may include:
- a head and or neck CT or MRI
- blood tests
- lumbar puncture (spinal tap)
