An Approach to Headache

The overview of how to approach the patient presenting with a headache, including a discussion of the various etiologies, a comparison of tension and migraine headaches, and a review of the red flags that should trigger neuroimaging.
Thanks to Dr. Veronica Santini and some folks on Twitter for providing feedback on specific sections!

I am Ur Greatest Fan. I Love Ur Approach to Symptom Series! They are through, Comprehensive, Short and Interesting and fun to Learn. My request is Plz Add a Bit more About Treatment in the End of these Series.

[@SajanAcharya]

While we were taught in similar fashion, using clinical presentation, treatment of specific diseases used to be left out for students to discuss. I completely agree that it would be awesome to see how a hospitalist like Dr. Eric Strong would approach to treatment of common presentation. Like what would he do as a point of care approach to someone he diagnosed as tension or migraine headache. What medication, what dose and how would he follow up. Standard of care/ options can be read in up-to-date or any standard text but a hospitalist's approach would be quite something to learn.

Again, an exellent video. Personally I would add to the list Hyponatremie, wich I also don't want to miss, and teeth or ATM related, just because they are not uncommon to present as a headache.

I know for HA we should not short hand a neuro exam, but what are some key physical exam findings or special tests should we perform?

I have a question do we make Headache as a DX of its own or secondary to impeding pathology

[@StrongMed]

A headache is a symptom rather than a diagnosis, though that diagnosis can be a primary headache syndrome, such as tension headaches or migraines.
