When To Consult A Doctor About Headaches

Dr. Newman explains that the best time to consult a doctor for a headache is when you have other symptoms associated with it, such as a fever. Headaches may be a warning sign that other infections and such may be occurring.
Lawrence C. Newman, MD: When should you consult a doctor about your headaches? When evaluating a patient for headache in general, we look for certain warning signs or red flags in the history, and on the physical examination.
Typical red flags that would make me as a neurologist worry would include things such as the headache being associated with fever or stiffness of the neck or body pains or joint aches which would make me think that the headache is a manifestation of some other illness like an infection such as meningitis in worrisome condition.
Other indications would be if the headache were associated with some neurologic defects, numbness on one side of the body, weakness on one side of the body, difficulty with speech or understanding what is being said to the patient or difficulty in vision or eyesight.
Again, that would make me worry of a neurologic complication. The headache might be the manifestation of a stroke or were still a brain tumor. Also, how did the headaches occur? Headaches that have their onset with coughing, straining, exercise like weightlifting or sexual activity could be a worrisome indication.
It might mean that in fact the headache is a manifestation of a bleed into the brain, hemorrhagic stroke, or an aneurysm that is ruptured. Alternatively those same things causing headache could be the result of a brain tumor in the back of the head that interferes with the pathways of the cerebrospinal fluid.
Also at what age did the headache begin? Headaches that start after age 50 for the first time are worrisome. As we get older, we are more likely to have other medical conditions, brain tumors, inflammations of the arteries, a condition known as Giant-cell arteritis, which causes headaches only after the age of 50 with associated jaw pain, tenderness of the scalp, and as untreated blindness.
Brain tumors are also more likely or metastasis from other tumors to the brain are more likely after the age of 50. So the age of onset is a red flag for us. Also lastly, a change in the pattern of headaches, so even if you had a longstanding history of headaches, but the headache should coming to me with now are different than your usual headaches.
They have a different quality to the pain. They have a different location. That would make want to investigate further. And then the last reason which is not necessarily a dangerous reason, but a red flag being the headaches are interfering with your life.
You are having trouble going to work, going to school, taking care of your family, they are so frequent or so disabling that you just cannot function normally, you need to go to your physician to get appropriate treatment for these headaches.

I have had weird headaches lately. Been going on for about three months. They are usually you normal typical headache. But some weird ones happen too. Yesterday I had a headache, it hurt a lot in my right side of the head. It kinda hurt to blink, not all blinks but some. I had one today that is really odd, and not normal I know of that. (Plot twist: it is idk) My sister was watching tv then the animated characters went black and it felt dizzy. Things got staticky and then very bright then pitch black. I did NOT pass out. It lasted for a total of about.. 15 seconds? I know it’s not a migraine, they feel different. During these headaches I feel tired like if I layer down, I would fall asleep. It’s a struggle to stay standing and I usually lean forward, into my lap or on something. They usually happen while playing oboe or doing exercise. But they can happen when I am just standing there. It has happened for me during church. I have kinda told my parents about my headaches. Usually when I get one I say “My head hurts” or “I have a headache”. So it’s like the don’t know. My medical past: I DON’T get usual migraines I have never had a bad virus. I was a c section baby. (Honesty I was an annoying child to birth) I have had two infections (One ear (due to piercing) And one skin (due to over itching)) I am a pretty healthy person and usually get a fever once a year. I have no medical anxiety. But this is just weird, does anyone know what it might be? I am look for answers. Thank you.

[@miadavies6022]

I panic really easily even when I get minor symptoms. I hope these kinds of headaches are normal.

So what if the headache feel like a sort of movement that moves from the part back of the nasal to the back. ( I would describe it as if a snake movement) it starts light and in creases as it goes moving from the front to the back of the head it just happen on the left side.

I've had really awful migraines throughout my high school years so bad I had to lay in a dark silent room until it went away on its own.

I was in class and fell asleep for a few minutes and when I woke up my vision was completely blurred and it stayed like that for a good thirty minutes. The next day I became increasingly dizzy and had to have someone drive me home because the road started spinning. I'm afraid there is something really wrong

about 5 years ago . i had my head shaved for no reason and I was flying in an air plane on a 2hrs journey .. .. exactly at the very second when the plane start started to descend for landing I started experiencing excruciating pain in multiple(about 7 to10) edges of my head I thought that I would die right then .. the pain then started to move towards the center of my head and the pain at multiple edges all combined on top of my head and it felt like my head is gonna explode .... the cabin crew contacted the ground staffs at the airport and came to me and advised me to pretend like I'm chewing something and to let her know if that helped ... as soon as i pretended to chew for sometime the whole pain from center of my head started moving to my left ear and that took about 15 to 20 second and all i could do was scream in the airplane because the pain was getting stronger and stronger with each second and finally my ear took all the pain and i was sure that something is gonna explode in my ear ..... after about half and hour we landed and all the pain just disappeared and i was normal like before as if nothing really happened .... i was asked to meet the doctor in the airport who gave me a over the counter headache tab which i threw in the bin .... i never felt any kinda numbness that day but after many months i felt light tremors on my lower lips on and rarely .... i never consulted a doctor till date and nothing such happened again coz i carry a lots of chewing gums with me on flight so that i never have to go through that pain again... kindly help me understand what exactly that pain was.. i m also going through anxiety and depression since 2 years now...

I will give you a simple test So if that headache happened to you and move as it happened to you in the plane I will tell you how to get rid of it You should listen to the headphones while you are sitting at home Do not occupy yourself by phone or television Listen to the end and tell me what you felt kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYiVoKR6qNd3otE

Everyday i have minor pain in my head all day and during the day it get worse pain then back to less to worse back to less etcetera . In the morning its the worst. I forget alot of things. I had something in my hand today and when i got asked to give it to someone i couldn't remember at all. I remembered having it then after that it was blank. This happens alot. My speech is okay apart from stuttering sometimes. I struggle to consentrait and understand some things. If theres alot of commotion going on around me my head gets really sore and i cant concentrate. I get dizzy sometimes to and sometimes feel sick. I also have some twitches but I think thats normal. I tend to get tingly and numb sometimes but more than other people. If anyone on here could help please reply.

I've had throbbing headaches for a year an a half , they last for most of the day an are that bad I can't stand up without my head throbbing in pain and I've had fizzy spells and blurred vision as well at times , my short term memories awful and my mental health is bad an what worries me is the pain is where my amygdala is I worry it could be a tumour pressing on that area causing me to have these issues but my doctor just prescribed me anti depressants and said it was a tension head ache from stress. I feel like being a woman doctors always think you're exaggerating your symptoms and don't take you seriously.

[@crumblebreadpie2933]

I’m having super bad headaches everyday. In a certain spot. And I’m having one right now. I got into a argument with my mom and it came on really fast and sudden. I think it was because I was stressing my speech. It’s making me really sick to my stomach and I’m having difficulty forming words. It scares me because my dad died young of an brain aneurysm and idk if it’s hereditary or not. But rn I’m feeling really lightheaded and sick. It’s coming in waves of really bad pain then suddenly it calmes down. I can’t go to the doctor right now because my family won’t take it very seriously. I was hoping if anyone could possible give me and idea on what it could be and if I should go to the doctor urgently or what.

I had hemorrhaging around my brain a couple months ago and was in hospital for a few days. Almost went for surgery but, at the last second they decided not to. Instead, they chose to keep me in ICU for a while. I was released from hospital with pretty much no info about later symptoms or what happened, what to expect. Now, I always have headaches that can last up to six days and my neck hurts and is always stiff. Also, I get very tired often.

[@gamech1ck681]

Not so long ago I had a migraine attack it was so horrible my parents were on vacation so my aunt and grandma were the only people who could help me. I was at my tennis training when it happened, it started with headache, I tried to tell my trainer but for some reason I couldn’t speak the words I wanted to I just didn’t know what words meant anymore and couldn’t bring up any of the names of the people I was with. So I was sent home wich is stupid of the trainer cus I was 15 and on a bike. So I came home safe but very nauseous. I just straight went upstairs and cried. I laid in my bed really stressed and scared then my arm and tung felt numb and I thought I was dying. So my little sister and her friend were with me and called my grandma and she came over and then I suddenly felt a bit normal again except for headache and nauseous. So then we called a doctor and he told us to just wait it out and I had to lay down on the couch and they closed the curtains en made sure it was dark and quiet around me. Then I puked for like 5 times in 1 day and the next day I felt okay but tired of the puking and stressing so I was a bit tired for 2 days. I never want to experience anything like that anymore
