Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms.

I would like to reassure you that your symptoms do not suggest any serious brain disease. The most likely cause for your headaches could be muscle tension headaches.

You would improve with medications such as dothiepin or amitriptyline. Neck extension exercises would also help.

If you do not improve, you can get a brain scan done.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
     
Best wishes,
