About Headaches and Migraines
Headaches And Migraines Overview
Headaches can be linked to stress, dehydration, poor sleep, eye strain, alcohol, caffeine changes, sinus symptoms, infections, hormone changes, neck tension, medication overuse, or underlying health conditions. Migraines are usually more intense than a typical headache and may involve throbbing pain, nausea, light sensitivity, sound sensitivity, or aura symptoms.
Mobi Doctor can help with non-emergency online assessment for recurring headaches, migraine symptoms, headache triggers, medication questions, or headaches linked to cold, flu, sinus symptoms, stress, dehydration, or travel. A doctor can review your symptoms, medical history, current medicines, risk factors, and how long the problem has been present before advising on the safest next step.
Seek urgent local medical care if you have a sudden severe headache, the “worst headache” you have ever had, headache after a head injury, fever with stiff neck, confusion, seizures, weakness, numbness, difficulty speaking, double vision, sudden vision changes, or a headache that is rapidly worsening.
