Do Acidity And Indigestion Cause Headache?

Hi, I am suffering with problem of headache since last two months. Headache starts in the day time and continues till I sleep in the night. I had a doubt that this may be because of change in specs power which is only -0.25 SPH, but my doctor ruled out this saying such small power will never be a cause of headache. One of my homeopathy doctor friend advised me that it could be due to acidity. I wish to mention that I suffer with indigestion, burps etc. many times. Is this an effect of acidity? I feel heaviness in my head which starts at my ehmoid sinuses and goes up to back neck. Could some1 help me understand whats the matter. One optician also suggested me to see neurologist. I am confuse as to whom should I consult to now. thanks,

Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
Yes Headaches might be linked to acidity and indigestion. But in that case you would have fever, Nausea, Anorexia or any of such symptoms of general illness. So you must have first consider normal causes of headache such as follow:-
1. High blood pressure
2. Migrainous headache
3. Sinusitis
4. meningitis
5. Anxiety

So first of all you should visit a neurologist & take his opinion
Hoping your query is solved.
Get well soon.
