Exams and Tests

When you have no serious symptoms, testing is not necessary with a mild headache. Blood tests are usually not helpful either because the results are almost always normal unless other symptoms besides mild headache are present. Without injury, x-rays are not necessary. Even with an injury to the head, x-rays are often not needed. Physical examination in mild headache is generally normal, except for possible tenderness of the muscles of the scalp or neck.
