Many headaches are of benign origin related to either allergies or muscular conditions. Some are stress related but some could be symptoms of other serious conditions such as brain tumor, brain aneurysms, arterial venous malformations, etc. To diagnose these problems many sophisticated tests have evolved over the years including MRI scan and MRA scan as well as computer tomographic angiography. A neurologic analysis will help to determine the cause and possible treatment including the diagnosis and management of stroke and its related complications.
