Brief Answer:
Further evaluation needed.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

Delayed post traumatic headaches should be evaluated properly with clinical examination and imaging studies, because in some cases may herald delayed intracerebral damages such subdural hematoma.

I suggest you to consult your primary care Doctor and discuss the possibility of having a brain imaging study ( head CT ) done, in order to evaluate/exclude any delayed brain injury.

If no damages found on brain imaging, your headache should be considered and treatment as a primary one.

Hope this helps. I remain at your disposal for further questions and clarifications.

Take care.
