While occasional headaches are common, certain symptoms and patterns may indicate a need for medical evaluation:
If you experience a headache that comes on suddenly and severely (often described as a "thunderclap" headache), seek immediate medical attention.
Headaches accompanied by confusion, seizures, double vision, weakness, numbness, or difficulty speaking warrant prompt medical evaluation.
If you have headaches more than three times a week or headaches that worsen over time, consult a healthcare provider.
Seek medical advice if headaches are associated with symptoms like fever, weight loss, or persistent vomiting.
Consult a doctor if you develop a new type of headache or if your headache pattern changes, especially if you are over 50 or have a history of cancer or immune system issues.
If you experience a headache after a head injury, seek medical attention to rule out serious conditions.
If you rely on pain medication more than twice a week for headaches, see a doctor to prevent medication overuse headaches.
At the Headache Clinic, we utilize advanced diagnostic tools and personalized treatment plans to address your specific needs:
Our team of experts conduct thorough evaluations, including medical history reviews and physical examinations, to accurately diagnose the type and the cause of your headaches.
We may utilize imaging studies such as MRI or CT scans to rule out underlying conditions contributing to your headaches.
Based on your diagnosis, we develop customized treatment plans tailored to your unique symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle.
Our treatment approach may include a combination of medications, lifestyle modifications, stress management techniques, and complementary therapies to effectively manage your headaches.
For chronic migraines, we offer Botulinum Toxin injections administered by Dr. Ghatali, providing long-term relief from migraine symptoms.
We provide continuous support throughout your treatment journey, adjusting your treatment plan as needed to ensure optimal outcomes and improved quality of life.
