Can too much weight gain lead to more frequent headaches?

Obesity & headache: Obesity can clearly increase the incidence of headache. After weight loss surgery, we find most patients resolve their frequent headaches. The cause may be related to an increased intracranial pressure.

Yes: Headaches can be due to many different causes. A very common cause of headaches is high blood pressure (hypertension). When people gain lots of weight, hypertension can be the side-effect of the weight gain and then the hypertension can cause more frequent headaches.
