Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms. In order to diagnose headaches in the sun, we could:

Research the topic
Find a doctor with the time
Use a diagnostic computer system.

The process is the same, whichever method is used.

Step 1: List all Possible Causes

We begin by identifying the disease conditions which have "headaches in the sun" as a symptom. Here are two possibilities:

EFA Need
Heat Exhaustion

Step 2: Build a Symptom Checklist

We then identify all possible symptoms and risk factors of each possible cause, and check the ones that apply:

hydrogenated fat consumption

type 2 diabetes IDD

adult acne

leg cramps caused by walking

some ear wax build up

thick cracked heel calluses

shoulder tightness

history of cysts in breasts

aspirin is effective pain reliever

... and so on

Step 3: Rule Out or Confirm each Possible Cause

A differential diagnosis of your symptoms and risk factors finds the likely cause of headaches in the sun:

Cause	Probability	Status
Heat Exhaustion	91%	Confirm
EFA Need	71%	Possible

* This is a simple example to illustrate the process
