I have ct scan a year ago (headaches all over head) i was wondering if that would of caught a tumour or anurism ? should i get another?its happenagain

Headaches: Are rarely caused by tumors and are caused by aneurysms only when they bleed. Best to see a neurologist with expertise in treating headaches rather than exploring further testing at this time.
