Headache: Your question can be answered by a ct of your brain. If it is negative, other causes of your headache need to be found. The easiest way to get a ct of your brain is to see a physician (p) and have one ordered. Is your headache the reason you are taking advil (ibuprofen)? The best way to find your answer is with a p. Good luck.

First, idem\ntify type of headache (aching, tightness or sevre, pounding, nausea, light and sound intolerance- this may indicate tension headaches or due to poor vision vs migraine headache. Then identify precipitants- foods, lack of sleep, drugs, tiobacco. Identify what makes it better. After this, doctors can give better answer. Take care.

No: Headaches are unfortunately common and a brain tumor as the underlying cause is rare. Get an eval since you are having headaches all the time. Best wishes.
