Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.

I understand that you are concerned about your headache. Now, headache can be due to a variety of causes:

- Migraine
- Sinusitis
- Tension headache
- Cluster headache
- Trigeminal neuralgia
- As a manifestation of neurological and other systemic problems

More clinical information, such as a detailed history, a proper physical examination, and if necessary, further investigations, is required in order to find out the exact cause. So,if your headache has been frequent or troubling you a lot, I would suggest that see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

Wish you all the best.

Regards,
Dr. Jonas Sundarakumar
