"Red flag": New onset headache is always a red flag. When evaluating a patient's headache, it is imperative that the clinician first identify and exclude a secondary headache based on history and clinical examination before proceeding to the diagnosis of the specific primary headache disorder. Rec.: see orofacial pain or headache specialist for evaluation.
