My head hurts a lot, usually pills don't help. And so for several years. Could it be cancer?
Headaches can be caused by a variety of reasons. However, it is necessary to visit a doctor, a neurologist who will perform a neurological examination and, if necessary, diagnostic imaging tests (e.g. head crimp tomography or magnetic resonance imaging). It may be cancer but not necessarily migraine or other types of headaches. In order to make a diagnosis, a detailed interview and additional tests are needed.
