Persistent Headache or Migraine: When to See a Neuro Doctor
By Dr. Abhishek Songara · Neurosurgeon & Spine Surgeon, Indore
Common headache types
Tension headaches, migraines and cluster headaches are the most common. Migraines often bring throbbing pain, nausea and light sensitivity, sometimes with visual aura.
When a headache needs evaluation
See a doctor for a sudden 'worst ever' headache, headaches that steadily worsen, those with fever, weakness, vision or speech changes, or headaches that begin after age 50.
Managing migraine
Identifying triggers, regular sleep and meals, stress management, and appropriate medication help most people. A specialist can tailor a prevention plan for frequent migraines.
How a neuro doctor helps
A neuro evaluation rules out secondary causes and creates a targeted treatment plan, so you are not just masking symptoms but addressing the underlying pattern.
