What Is The Cause Of Headache?
I am 16 years old, when i was 7 i was in a head on collision, I hit my Have and i have a scar that's like an inch long, I've never had pain there before, but i do now. The pain is around my scar and my temple. Its hard to talk cough, sneeze, or even laugh. Its this just a headache or is it something serious?

Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
I carefully read your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to a post traumatic headache.
But, it is important excluding an intracranial cause (like hemorrhage or infection) which may cause this symptomatology.
For this reason, I recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam and some tests:
- a brain MRI
- some blood lab tests (complete blood count, inflammation tests).
If all the above tests result normal, you should not worry about anything!
Kind regards,
Dr. Aida
