What is Migraine & Headache?
Headache and migraine are among the most common neurological complaints. Tension-type headache, migraine and cluster headache each have distinct features and treatments — while persistent or changing headaches can sometimes signal an underlying problem that needs expert assessment.
A neurologist distinguishes primary headaches from secondary causes, identifies triggers, and builds acute and preventive plans — including modern migraine therapies and botulinum toxin for chronic migraine when indicated — to reduce attack frequency and restore daily function.
What are the symptoms of Migraine & Headache?
Common symptoms include the features below. Patterns vary — a neurologist matches your history to the right diagnosis rather than treating a single symptom in isolation.
What causes Migraine & Headache?
Identifying the cause guides treatment. These are frequent contributors — your evaluation may reveal one factor or a combination.
Stress & Posture
Prolonged screen time, poor posture and emotional stress are leading triggers.
Sleep Disturbance
Both insufficient and excessive sleep can provoke headache attacks.
Dehydration & Diet
Skipped meals, caffeine swings and dehydration commonly trigger pain.
Medication Overuse
Frequent painkiller use can paradoxically cause chronic daily headache.
Underlying Conditions
Sinusitis, hypertension or rarely intracranial issues need ruling out.
Hormonal Changes
Menstrual cycles and thyroid imbalance can drive recurrent headaches.
How does Dr. Sudheer treat Migraine & Headache?
Care is personalised after examination and targeted tests. The usual pathway has three stages:
Diagnosis
Detailed headache history, neurological examination and trigger review; imaging only when red flags or atypical features suggest a secondary cause.
Treatment Plan
Acute relief (triptans, anti-nausea medicines) plus preventives such as beta-blockers, topiramate or amitriptyline; chronic migraine may qualify for botulinum toxin or CGRP therapies.
Follow-up
Headache diary review every 4–8 weeks to adjust preventives, reduce medication overuse and confirm attack frequency is falling toward your goals.
