The headache itself will not cause a seizure, the underlying cause of the headache is what causes seizures. Severe headaches, such as migraines , when severe enough can lead to memory loss and confusion, unsteady gait can mislead someone into thinking they have had a seizue. Best to consult your physician if you are having frequent severe headache to find out why.

Go the the doctors and tell him that your having these headaches and he will give you the proper meds. after he finds
out just what kind of headache you are having and why.
If warrented he may send you to a neurologist and there you could have an M.R.I. or a CAT Scan done of your brain and if its warrented he may order an E.E.G. and that test shows seizure activity in the brain.
If your having migraines and are not under undo stress the answer is no but extreme stress can and does cause seizures.
Only a doctor can give the correct answer here.

Headaches can come from all sorts of things. It could just be stress or sinuses or even allergies. But it could be something more if you are getting them on a regular basis.You could have a serious medical problem that could eventually lead to seizures or more.
You should see a doctor if you continue to get them regularly.

If it is Migrain, no seizures, If the headache is due to tumour, one will definitely have seizures.

first you need to find out what kind of headache it is before thinking about seizures. migraines tend to happen more with females. they move to different parts of the head and can happen with different degrees in serverity. cluster headaches tend to happen with males. they are much more severe than migraines. are localized in a single spot, and can cause photophobia and monophobia. what you should think about most is what is causing the headaches. the usual suspects for headaches are caffeine, niccotene (sp?), and a poor diet. keep away from the caffeine if you have any type of headache! then of course, alcohol. what you should do for now is keep a cool wet cloth on your head relax and eat and drink a healthy diet for about a week or so to clean out your system. if there is something wrong after your system is cleaned out, it should be checked out by a neurologist. 99% of the time it is nothing more than a bad diet.

They can create white matter legions in your brain, which can lead to numerous issues including seizures.
