Hi there,
Thanks for using HCM.
There are many different causes of headache. Some of the common causes of headache are tension headache, cluster headache, migraine.
In most of the cases a CT scan is not required. CT scan is required only if a brain tumor, an aneurysym, an abscess or an head injury is believed to be the cause of headache.
