Hello,
In my opinion, in your case, a brain MRI is necessary for a correct diagnosis. Changes in blood pressure also may result in posterior headaches, so, it is necessary also for monitoring your blood pressure for a couple of days. Discuss these issues with your doctor.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
