Please read before using this tool This headache and facial pain symptom checker tool is not meant for a diagnosis. Any type of headache or face pain requires an office visit with a doctor to properly evaluate your pain. The symptom checker tool checks symptoms for primary headache disorders, not secondary headache disorders. Secondary headache disorders are headaches resulting from some other cause, such as brain tumor, infection, and many other possibilities. The symptom checker tool does not evaluate for any of those headache causes, which is why any headache requires an office visit with your doctor for proper evaluation and examination.
