Look for other cause: A lacunar infarct is a kind of a stroke due to lack of blood, and therefore lack of oxygen to a part of the brain. Reducing risk of stroke involves blood thinners like aspirin, cholesterol management, stress and blood pressure control. With headache, look for other causes other than the stroke which if chronic, typically is not a cause of a headache.
