There are very, very many causes of headaches, including some neuropathies that cause pain, vascular lesions, cranial lesions, and some infections that can cause headaches.

At present, we examine headache items such as cranial CT/MRI, electroencephalogram and so on, but it is impossible to cover everything. Many causes of headache cannot be detected by the current examination, and need to rely on the clinical manifestations to be deduced, such as migraine, cluster headache and so on.

So when you go for a CT of the skull, the purpose is to detect cranial lesions, intracranial lesions, such as whether there is a tumor, benign or malignant, and these lesions can be detected, but the causes of migraines like those mentioned above, which are autonomic disorders or other functional disorders, cannot be detected by the current tests.

So just because you've had several tests that are normal doesn't mean you don't have a headache, it just means that the cause of the headache hasn't been found. Ultimately, it's up to your doctor to synthesize your history and clinical presentation to make a relatively reasonable diagnosis.

Tap the upper right corner"Concerned.", Conveniently learn about medical knowledge.

First of all, congratulations, headache examination after normal (preferably cranial CT and MR), it means that you do not have the brain nothing found in the brain infarction, bleeding, tumors, infections and other lesions.

Second, then say why headache, in the medical nature of pain is divided into a very fine, such as swelling pain, colic, pressure pain, pins and needles, electric pain, burning pain, etc., the nature of the pain is different, suggesting that different organs and lesions. Here is a generalization of the possible causes of headaches.

1, high blood pressure: elevated blood pressure back to cause headaches, mostly swelling and pain, can be accompanied by dizziness, etc., in the headache of blood pressure measurement.

2, cervical spondylosis: cervical spine lesions can involve the posterior occipital pain, there can be dizziness, shoulder and neck pain, limb numbness, etc., feasible cervical spine X-ray and cervical spine MR examination.

3、Neurological headache: There is no abnormality in the examination, and it is mostly caused by mental tension and anger. The headache is long, with episodes of dull pain, swelling, pressure, numbness and band-like tightness, and is often aggravated by factors such as excitement, anger, insomnia, anxiety or depression.

4, vascular headache: migraine belongs to the headache, characterized by one side or both sides of the paroxysmal throbbing pain, swelling or drilling pain, can be accompanied by visual hallucinations, photophobia, hemianopsia, nausea and vomiting and other symptoms of vascular autonomic dysfunction.

5、Neuritis of the head and face: paroxysmal electric pain, touching the face can cause pain.

6, head and face shingles: persistent burning pain, there is no pain, only herpes grow out to confirm the diagnosis.

7, ear, nose and throat diseases: when accompanied by headache, generally there will be ear, nose and throat symptoms, specialist has the corresponding examination.

Third, there are many causes of headache, such as not found organic lesions and secondary headache, timely consultation after letting the doctor in conjunction with their own situation symptomatic treatment.

Clinical diagnosis is not so simple, never you say what symptoms, can immediately confirm the diagnosis, the hospital examination program is extremely large, can lead to headache disease is similarly more, if one by one to match, then may need to do a variety of tests before completely ruled out.

I understand how patients feel, but to be honest:"You've got a headache. The doctor's got a headache.", headache is considered to be a high rate of appearance of the symptoms, every day because of headache to the hospital to check not too many people, simple headache symptoms are not too much diagnostic significance, and even if it is not a disease can not be distinguished.

Nowadays, social life is more stressful, coupled with an increase in the number of people who stay up late, more and more tension-type headache, these patients do not have organic lesions, the reason why the headache, just because of the recent stress, rest is not good and so on, this does not require too much intervention, adequate rest is the best medicine.

Why do you think you may have missed the check?

Symptoms can not diagnose the disease, if you do not have a more detailed description, then no one can be diagnosed, take high blood pressure as an example, high blood pressure is a relatively common disease, right, our side must have the existence of this type of patients, you can consult with them: what are the typical symptoms of high blood pressure, the vast majority of the answer must be dizziness, headache.

So when you went for a checkup before, did you check your blood pressure? If you really have a headache caused by blood pressure, then as long as you didn't check your blood pressure, all the other tests you did won't be of much use because it's not the tests that are wrong, it's the wrong choice of tests.

A description of the headache alone makes it difficult to determine the direction of the diagnosis, and other information is needed!

1, headache + fever

Generally speaking, when the fever is more severe, headache symptoms will appear. However, if the degree is more intense, accompanied by convulsions and impaired consciousness, it is necessary to be alert to encephalitis.

2, Headache + intracranial symptoms

For example, if it is a change in personality, loss of vision and hearing, crooked mouth and eyes, numbness of limbs and other symptoms, then you need to be alert to cerebral infarction and other related diseases with a higher risk factor.

3, headache + neck pain

Then it is likely to be cervical spondylosis, where the patient's headache symptoms are caused by cervical spondylotic lesions compressing and irritating the nerves.

4, Headache + sudden worsening

When a headache is sudden and unprecedentedly severe, as if the brain is blossoming, it may be a subarachnoid hemorrhage that requires immediate emergency care.

5, Headache + persistent aggravation

One needs to be alert to the possibility of a tumor.

I hope my answer helps you!

This is because the equipment can only look at tangible lesions! For example, brain tumors, cerebral hemangiomas, cerebral embolisms, cerebral stasis, or traumatic brain injury. If the headache isn't caused by one of these, it can't be detected. And once they are, it's dangerous. Chinese medicine said not to treat the disease to treat the disease refers to this situation! You want to think of the undiseased where the need to cure it? So the disease refers to some kind of diagnostic and treatment means of examination results or medical skills not to conclude that the reason why the disease is also called disease is because the patient's self-perception, such as headaches, or medical skills of people have a sense of Jane concluded that there is a disease. That is why the medical scriptures, "fools see in the hair, the wise realize in the not yet sprouted". "Those who see it in the hair are half dead and half alive, and those who realize it before it starts are nine out of ten."

There are many causes of headaches. There are qi deficiency headaches, and qi deficiency headaches are predominantly frontal headaches. There is blood deficiency headache, after the headache mostly. There are liver-yang hyperactivity headaches, with headaches predominating, both hypertensive headaches. There are neurotic headaches. In addition to hypertension and neurological headaches, Western medicine can not be seen! And Chinese medicine a pulse will be able to say on your headache type, the onset of the cause!

Light bulbs only do not light up you know the power is out. Qi in the human body, like electricity, is invisible, but there is no not yet neutralized.

Headaches can be caused by a variety of things.

A pain in the forehead is a blockage of the Directing Vessel, a headache from the eyebrows upwards is a blockage of the Bladder Meridian, a pain on both sides of the temples is a blockage of the Gallbladder Meridian, and a unilateral pain is a problem with the Liver and Lungs, the left Liver and the right Lung.

Chinese medicine says that qi and blood is insufficient, can western medicine check it out? As long as it does not pass is caused by insufficient qi and blood, pass is not pain pass is not pain.

Haha! This is a good question, because not to mention the headache, sometimes other parts of the body pain can not be detected. One year my wife abdominal pain unbearable, cold sweat, ran to the hospital for various tests, neither enteritis, nor gastritis, more not appendicitis, anxious doctor scratching his head, at a loss, had to play painkillers. A few years later, my wife committed this disease again, then I have been the first medical science, judgment is the spleen and stomach cold, with a dose of Rizhong soup, the effect on the spot, two bowls of medicine to finish the medicine stopped. Why? It turns out that not all illnesses are organic, and some diseases cannot be detected by Western medical technology.

You say headache, like a cold, right? What can you check a thing out? So we really have to recognize the wisdom of Chinese medicine sometimes.

Back to the main topic, if you have long-term headache, the pain has a fixed place, can be considered blood stasis cerebral collateral, please refer to the bottom of your tongue, if the color of black and blue, there are petechiae, that basically can not be wrong. If the headache has no fixed place and wanders around, you can consider that there is wind evil, which is called head wind in Chinese medicine. This is a symptomatic treatment, which is too much to say in one sentence.

Then there is also a division of liver-yang upturned headache, yin-blood deficiency headache, phlegm headache, wind-dampness headache, anyway, with the instrument can not be checked, but no matter what kind of headache, there will be a corresponding symptomatic response, it is recommended to be taken over by a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, is not a difficult task.

If you like me, please follow me and share a little bit of Chinese medicine knowledge every day, thank you!

I have frequent headaches in an indeterminate location. Sometimes a migraine with pain in the orbital position. Sometimes pain in the forehead. Other times pain behind and above the ear. Accompanied by tinnitus, insomnia and easy fatigue. Therefore, I often go to the major hospitals for medical treatment. I have had tests such as MRI, CT, transcranial Doppler, carotid ultrasound, EEG, etc. But the results are: MRI, CT, EEG, EEG, EEG, EEG, EEG, EEG, EEG, EEG. However, the results of the tests were: no abnormality. The doctor looked at the results of the examination and concluded that it was not a lesion in the organs, which could not be detected by the examination equipment. It is better to be adjusted by traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), and some medicines are prescribed to nourish the nerves. Later, I went to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, and the doctor said, "Your qi and blood deficiency is very serious. It is necessary to prescribe some soup. After I took it for twenty days, the symptoms improved significantly, and now the headache has not completely disappeared, but the number of times has decreased significantly, from the previous three or two days to once, to once every three or five months. I am very satisfied with this result.
