    what i think you should consider is that you had headaches before and the ct scan was clear... do if you have headaches now it is not likely to be something new that is causing them. also i think that headaches are actually not as common as you might think as a symptom of a brain tumor or similar.

    try to figure out if your headaches are caused by something more common and likely. posture? looking down all the time? eye strain? dehydration? too much caffeiene etc.

    also if you had another ct, you would be questioning again in another 5 months... this is very typical of anxiety.

    i dont mean to be dismissive, im not, and i sympathize with you... but i want to give you a stern reply cause sometimes we all need this.

    stay strong and focus on your anxiety! x

    well if your test came back normal even with your headaches, it will come back normal again in five months.

    headaches are extremely common and 99.9% of the time they are due to nothing serious.

    stephen is right. caffeine, eyestrain, poor posture, stress and anxiety, de hydration, too much screen time, all of those plus many more things can cause headaches.

    work on some of those things and think about what might be causing stress in your life. Counseling can help.

    A good pain reliever and drinking at least 4 glasses of water a day should cure your headaches.

    My spouse has had daily headaches for the last few months. Had CT scan and didn't show anything so now he's going for an MRI--- his ears are bothering him too so Dr just wants to make sure . He has severe anxiety and worries all the time.. He says he sleeps but he's very restless at night. But I think these are tension headaches due to stress and anxiety. I'm trying to encourage him to see a therapist as this would help a lot--- he always feels better getting reassurance.
