Persistent Headache: When Should You Investigate? Q: Is a persistent headache normal? A: Most headaches are not serious, but a new, persistent, recurrent or progressively worsening headache should be medically evaluated. Q: When should I consult a neurosurgeon? A: Seek specialist evaluation if headache is sudden or severe, progressively worsening, or associated with vomiting, vision changes, weakness, numbness, speech difficulty, seizures, confusion, dizziness or balance problems. Headache that worsens with coughing, straining or bending also needs assessment. Q: Does every headache require an MRI brain? A: No. A detailed neurological examination and headache assessment help determine whether an MRI brain or other investigations are required. Imaging may be recommended when symptoms suggest an underlying neurological or structural condition. Q: What causes persistent headache? A: Common causes include migraine, tension headache, medication-overuse headache and sleep-related problems. Persistent headache can occasionally be associated with brain tumour, hydrocephalus or intracranial bleeding.
