The differential diagnosis between primary and secondary headache and its different subtypes is based on the clinical history and the physical exploration. These can detect whether the headache presents warning signs and which characteristics can establish an appropriate diagnosis according to the diagnostic criteria of the IHSII (The International Classification of Headache Disorders, second edition). The clinical interview is our main tool to detect, diagnose and treat the somatic complaints reported by our patients. We present the case of a patient diagnosed with cardiac headache.
