No: A CT will provide information related to structural changes only. Functional changes would not be revealed by a CT scan. Headaches are many times hard to diagnose as they may reflect referred pain and a full ear, nose and throat exam with attention to C-spine would be required. Stick with one physician, ideally neurologist until workup completed.
