Head shaking is a sign of flukes, or possibly some other parasite. Check his skin for flukes (do a google and you'll see what m talking about). If you do spot flukes you should consider giving your fish a fresh water bath to temporarily alleviate his issues. The flukes could be in his gills which would not be good.. After the bath you will want to treat your tank with praziPro. Follow the directions on the bottle.
Can you take a picture so we can see what the fish looks like? We may be able to spot other possibilities. Also, what are the particulars of your tank? Size, equipment? Etc. How many and what sorts of fish? When was the last one added? Do any of them have ich ?
