You would like to know what may be the cause of the headaches that you experience.
Headache can be caused by increased blood pressure, increased intracranial pressure by infections, hydrocephalus or tumors, vascular constriction or migraine. If it is caused by increased blood pressure the headache is constant and you may feel tensed. If it is caused by increased intracranial pressure you may feel rigidity in your neck or may feel pain in your back. Migraine is an extremely painful headache and is sometimes accompanied by vomiting or by distinct warning signs including visual disturbances.
You may consider seeing a neurologist to find out more about diagnosis and treatment of headaches. You may also see your doctor or cardiologist to check on the levels of your blood pressure.
