A : A new or changing headache is a reason to seek medical attention. Headaches can be primary -- meaning that the headache is not caused by something else, or secondary -- meaning that there is another cause for the headache. Secondary headaches need to be investigated further in order to determine their cause. Using too much over the counter pain medicine can lead to a rebound headache from medication overuse and this is the most common cause of chronic daily headaches.
