Do Concussions In The Past Cause Recurring Severe Headaches?
My 23 year old daughter has had headaches that have progressively gotten worse but happen sporadically (few times a month) and the last time it was more intense and she vomited. When in high school she received 2 concussions playing basketball. She went to the ER both times and was told she would be okay. Is there any correlation...should she have a head scan done?

Hello,
The intense headache can be related to many medical conditions. One of the possible conditions can be migraine.
So, I recommend to consult a neurologist for further evaluation. Meanwhile, I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
