7 signs your headache is serious

Knowing what to look out for could help stop any needless worrying

7 signs your headache is serious

Headaches are extremely common – in fact, I would hedge a bet that most people reading this have experienced one at some point in their lives. Some of you may even have one right now, or feel that one is on its way. And, if you’re paranoid that it’s serious, you’re not alone. I see many patients with headaches in my surgery and they’re often concerned about the same thing – whether it means that they have a brain tumour. Thankfully, brain tumours are far less common than headaches. And most headaches are short-lasting and have a benign cause.

The flu or a fever can cause a headache. Perhaps you’ve experienced one from being hungover, or from dehydration after a day outside in hot weather? It could be due to eye strain, after spending too long working at a screen, or because you need glasses or your glasses prescription needs changing. So, if you have recurrent headaches, it’s worth getting your eyes checked.
