Thanks for that I am with Kings Long Covid clinic such as it is, and have been given amytriptaline which I must say initially seemed to help but not so much now, my follow up appointment with consultant who prescribed that has not been cancelled just 3 months overdue now, emails and calls ignored in relation to that so not cancelled but not happening . In case it becomes a problem as has done in my case would advise anyone to get into a long covid clinic and get a doctors note for employers or social security as to your capabilities or lack therof, but if it’s kings expect year long waits before a cancellation and disappearing contact desks/admins/physical premises for a further 6 months and boxbticking rather than treatment of any kind. Not a lot they can do but equally pretty poor all round. At this stage I think recovery is down to the individual, can recommend the amytriptaline at least for some respite though

It's unlikely your GP would send for a scan, however NICE offer the following guidance to clinicians...

Granted it is likely CoVID related but there are other causes of headaches which should be excluded. To be fair most headache variants are a clinical diagnosis and don't need a scan, but they should at least have some interaction with you.
If they don't find anything ask about long CoVID clinic referral. GL
