Hi

Thanks for asking.

headache lasting for more than year definitely warrants investigations.

There are many causes of sustained headaches some of them serious including the brain tumours.

Please get yourself investigated with imaging of the brain and other blood investigations to reach a diagnosis.

Thanks.
