Make room for the whole history
Describe when symptoms began, their frequency and pattern, possible triggers, and their effect on everyday activities. Prior records and treatment history help guide the discussion.
Areas to discuss
- Headache and migraine concerns
- Symptoms following concussion or brain injury
- Other neurological symptoms requiring evaluation
Preparing for a headache visit
Bring your medication list and prior records requested by the office. If you keep a symptom diary, it may help you describe headache frequency, duration, and impact.
For sudden or severe symptoms that may be an emergency, seek urgent medical attention rather than requesting a routine appointment.
