Osteochondrosis of the cervical spine	Curvature of the spinal column is characterized by pinched nerve endings. The pressure in the blood vessels changes. Pathological changes are accompanied not only by headache, but also by trembling of the upper limbs. Pain syndrome spreads to the neck, shoulders, lower jaw and back of the head.
Infectious and inflammatory process	Headache occurs when the meninges are damaged. Pathological processes also provoke a high body temperature, a spastic state of the muscles in the neck. A secondary symptom of an infectious and inflammatory lesion is signs of intoxication.
Tumor	Benign or malignant neoplasms with progression increase in size, put pressure on the brain tissue. Therefore, severe headaches appear in the parietal region. The nature of the attacks depends on the area of ​​localization of tumor processes. The pain can be pressing, unbearable or paroxysmal. Concomitant symptoms are temporary impairment of vision, speech, fainting, and epileptic seizures.
Sinusitis	The inflammatory process in the maxillary sinuses creates strong intracranial pressure. There is a constant lack of air. The pathological condition is also accompanied by a paroxysmal headache, weakness, tinnitus, lethargy.
Hypertension	The disease is characterized by an increase in blood pressure. Along with painful sensations in the region of the crown, there is noise in the ears, shortness of breath, weakness, nausea, double vision.
Cephalalgia	The pathological condition is characterized by frequent headaches, which are the result of old injuries, taking certain medications. The same applies to severe stressful situations when there is a change in pressure in the blood vessels of the brain.
Frontal sinusitis	The disease, in which a strong pain syndrome is felt in the forehead and crown, passes to the temples. The attack occurs unexpectedly, is squeezing in nature. Pain syndrome cannot be relieved with analgesics. It intensifies when a person changes body position, when tapping on the forehead or when leaning forward.
Intoxication	A pathological condition that occurs against the background of severe poisoning of the body. Blood vessels constrict as pressure changes in them. There is a lack of oxygen, as a result, there are pulsating pains in the parietal part of the head. The accompanying symptoms are weakness and nausea. Chronic intoxication is accompanied by a convulsive condition.

All diseases require immediate diagnosis and urgent medical intervention, since they can provoke the appearance of serious complications.

After viral or infectious diseases, a person with a traumatic brain injury in the past may experience complications in the form of painful sensations. With untimely treatment, they acquire a chronic form, periodically disturb the person.

Computed tomogram (CT)	During the examination, the specialist carefully examines the cranial structures, bone tissues, blood vessels. CT can also determine the consequences of a traumatic brain injury.
General and biochemical blood test	The results of the study will help to identify the development of pathological processes that affect blood parameters.
Electroencephalography	A diagnostic method that allows you to assess the condition of the blood vessels and cerebral circulation.
Ultrasound diagnostics of the head (USDG)	The blood vessels in the head and neck area are examined. The specialist identifies atherosclerotic plaques in the arteries, their narrowing or abnormal development, against the background of which hypoxia occurs.
Rheoencephalography (REG)	The tone and fullness of the blood vessels is assessed. A diagnostic method that helps doctors determine atherosclerosis, vegetative-vascular dystonia, or hypertension.
Cerebrovascular rheovasography (RVG)	The study makes it possible to assess the quality of blood flow in the great vessels and collateral circulation.
X-ray	A diagnostic method that will allow examining bone structures, revealing the development of pathological changes.

It is necessary to differentiate the disease in order to find the most effective treatment. Many pathologies are accompanied by similar clinical symptoms.
