Mixed Tension Migraine Diagnosis & Tests

It is important to have a full medical and neurological evaluation if:

Headaches have just started to occur regularly
The intensity or symptoms of the headache are different from your previous experience of common headaches

Based on the history of your symptoms and a physical examination, a physician will decide whether you should be treated for migraine-tension headache, or whether further evaluation to rule out other causes of headache is necessary. These tests may include:

a head and or neck CT or MRI
blood tests
lumbar puncture (spinal tap)
