Headache after flying, When to see GP?

Dear Ask The Doctor: I have been having a pressure pain constantley in my head for the last week and a half, since flying home from a holiday in spain, its not a normal headache, and all over my head hurts, should i see my GP ? and should i be worried?

Dear Tracy: The most common cause of primary headaches are due to migraines or tension type headache. Migraine headache can cause intense throbbing or pulsing in one area of the head. It is commonly accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and sound. Migraine attacks can cause significant pain for hours to days. Tension headache, which is generally a diffuse, mild to moderate pain that's often described as feeling like a tight band around your head. A tension headache is the most common type of headache. Some of the general measures you can take for headaches are to eliminate stress, avoid smoking, coffee, alcohol, relaxation therapy & yoga. Analgesics may be required if the pain does not subside. If your headache gets worse or is present when you wake in the morning, I would suggest you to see your GP.
