See A Doctor: Severe headaches are taken seriously. The potential causes range from stress, tension, infections (sinusitis) to more severe and life-threatening such as vascular inflammation and aneurysm. The age of the patient is a major factor in determining causes and testing. A severe headache in a 50 y.o. demands immediate medical attention.
