A member asked:

Headache hurts more when head is shaken. what causes these headaches?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a doctor: Cannot diagnose this without seeing and examining you. Headache is a complex and difficult entity to determine the cause of. See a good pcp and if they feel necessary they may refer you on to a neurologist or other specialist. Hope these clear up soon.
