# When Should a New Headache After Starting Medication Be Checked?

I started a new prescription recently and have been getting headaches that I didn’t have before. They’re not severe, but the timing has made me wonder whether they could be related to the medication or just a coincidence.

When is a new headache after starting medication something to raise with a pharmacist or doctor promptly? I’m not looking for a diagnosis—just trying to understand what details, such as when it began or how often it happens, are useful to report.
