Specializes in Family Medicine

Many things: There are very many things that can cause headaches form classic migraine variants to High blood pressure, to sinus infections, to hormonal issues, to various food precipitants, to more serious underlying issues. Headaches are common and usually are easily cured with an over the counter headache medication. If they do not work or if the headache is unbearable, then you need to see a Dr.
