Small sinuses: The ct films do not indicate a cause for your headaches and shows only a congenital variation of no consequence. If you have a constant headache, it is consistent with the syndrome of "chronic daily headaches" and could readily respond to treatment.

I recently had a CT scan for my Sinuses and it was discovered that there is a calcified tapeworm. I was told not to worry about it. But then again I am asking myself if this is not at all the cause of my headaches? Should I be worried?
