It is important in the first place that a correct diagnosis is established if you have headaches. If you think you might have migraine, you should still consult your doctor so that you can be reassured that a more sinister underlying problem is not the cause of the problem. Although sinister headaches are very rare, it is sometimes best to have tests such as MRI or CAT scans done to rule out other causes. Migraine is itself a 'primary' or 'organic' headache - in other words, migraine is itself the problem and it is not a symptom of a more serious underlying illness.
