Many causes headach: You need a detail exam to find out the cause of headache.After ruling out all the causes for headache MRI can be done.

If you wish/waste: You can worry if you wish, but a visit with a headache specialist might be a better use of time.Lifestyle/sleep issues/diet/etc. are often more involved with headaches than something you would find on brain imaging. In fact if you don't have any "focal" neurologic signs that would suggest a brain issue CT's and MRI's are a waste of time. Common things cause problems more than rare issues

Can't be exact about: The cause of headaches because there are several major types, e.g., vascular, sinus, muscular, tension, etc. Please see you doc so he/she can examine you and give you the proper treatment for the type of headache you have. Consider biofeedback or clinical hypnosis (www.asch.net) after seeing doctor. Peace and good health.
