Headache Warning Signs - And When To Call The Doctor

Headaches can happen to anyone, at any time, in any place.48,49 Thankfully, headaches are so common that for the most part they are nothing to worry about. In most cases, headache symptoms only last for a matter of minutes or hours.

But what if the pain doesn’t go away? And what if there are additional symptoms or sickness? More importantly, how can you tell when a headache is serious enough to seek medical care?

Stiff Neck and Fever

Headache warning signs

There are definite warning signs that signal a headache may be more serious. A sudden, severe headache or head pain that occurs with other signs of injury can be a symptom of a more serious medical condition.49

If you experience any of the following symptoms, seek medication attention immediately.49

  • Stiff neck and fever

Some headaches, such as tension headache, can be accompanied by a neck pain or a tightness in the neck. But a sudden, severe headache along with a very stiff neck and a fever and/or sensitivity to light could be a sign of a serious infection that requires medical attention.50

  • Numbness or weakness

Numbness or weakness with a headache, including slurred speech or difficulty walking could be symptomatic of a more serious condition. Speak with your doctor as soon as possible.49

  • Altered vision

Double, blurred vision or partial loss of vision with a headache.49

  • Confusion, convulsions, or loss of consciousness

Confusion or loss of consciousness, when paired with a headache, are all warning signs of a serious illness or injury. These may occur with the onset of head pain or after experiencing a headache. Either way, you should seek immediate medical attention.49

  • Head injury

Any time a head injury results in a headache, consult a doctor right away. Head pain following a head trauma could be a sign of damage that requires immediate medical treatment.49

Which type of headache is causing you pain?

There are three types of headaches: tension, migraine and cluster. Each headache may have its own symptoms that can be dull and throbbing, or sharp and localized, and last for a few minutes or a few days. Figuring out which type you have can help to treat the symptoms and prevent future headaches.

Cluster headaches - gender differences and treatment

Both men and women experience headaches. However, certain types of headaches may be more common in one sex than in the other. Cluster headaches are a good example – men are about six times more likely to have cluster headaches than women.
