Preparing for the visit to the doctor
Here are some helpful tips if you’re thinking about seeing a doctor about your headaches.
- Make an appointment to talk to the doctor only about the headaches. That way they have more time for it.
- Think of ways to describe your headache.
- How often do you have headaches? If you find it difficult to describe how many days in the last month you have had the headache, it can be helpful to use a headache diary before your appointment.
- What do your headaches feel like?
- When do your headaches bother you the most? What do they keep you from doing?
- What have you done about the pain so far and has it helped you?
- Have you taken any medication?
