Online consultation for migraine and headaches
Migraine is a common condition, not just a bad headache: attacks of throbbing pain, often with nausea and sensitivity to light and sound, lasting hours to days. Tension headaches feel like a tight band. Taking painkillers on many days a month can itself cause daily headaches. Both are treatable once the pattern is clear.
An online consult can help with
- Headaches that keep coming back with a pattern you recognise
- Migraine with nausea or sensitivity to light and sound
- Taking painkillers on more than 10 days a month
- Headaches around your periods
- Wanting medicine to prevent attacks
See a doctor in person if
- Trouble breathing, chest pain, fainting, confusion or a seizure: go to the nearest emergency department or call 108.
- A sudden, very severe headache that peaks within a minute, the worst ever
- Headache with weakness, numbness, slurred speech, confusion or loss of vision
- Headache with fever and a stiff neck or a rash
- Headache after a head injury
- Headache with a painful red eye, or jaw pain on chewing and a tender scalp, especially over 50
- A severe headache in pregnancy or after childbirth, especially with blurred vision or swelling
- A new headache after 50, or one that wakes you and is getting steadily worse
