Most headaches are tension, migraine or headache with no apparent cause.
Many headaches associated with abnormalities in the eyes, nose, throat, teeth and ears.
High blood pressure can cause a feeling of throbbing in the head, but high blood pressure rarely causes chronic headaches.
Usually the doctor can determine the cause of the headache patient's medical history and physical examination.
Sometimes blood tests done to determine the cause.
Lumbar puncture (taking a small amount of fluid from the spinal column to be examined under a microscope) is done if the suspected cause is an infection (eg, meningitis).

If a tumor is suspected, a stroke or other brain disorders, then do a CT scan or MRI.
