My 70-year old mother who is healthy and active has suffered from headaches for several years. They occur about twice a year but last for 2 to 8 weeks. She feels a daily pressure and burning at the top of her head, which is usually worse in the morning. She has had cat scans, ultrasounds but not MRI yet because it is not covered by insurance. Should she demand one? If the doctor recommends it, it might be covered. Her primary care guy is an endocrinologist. She has also been to a neurologist. They claim that it is a migraine or tension headache even though she assures us she is under no stress and her symptoms are not those of migraine-sufferers. She occasionally breaks out in a sweat and feels shaky or trembles. She is quite frightened, although all blood tests and other exams show no abnormalities other than moderate hypertension, which she takes medication for.
She also has a dull ache where her right ovary is and some pain in the upper-abdominal area. She is otherwise healthy and has never been sick. Has anyone ever heard of this top of the head pain? Does anyone know of a connections between early-onset of ovarian cancer and headaches? We want to rule out the worst.
