Headache

Headache is one of the commonest problems for which patients seek medical attention. Neurologists are trained to diagnose and treat headaches.

 

The causes of headaches can range from the simple – such as a hangover, or the pain from eating ice cream – to the sinister – such as a tumor or burst blood vessel in the brain. The most common types of headache are migraine and tension type headache. These headaches are not serious, but can cause significant disability. 

 

Some headaches are medical emergencies, and require prompt evaluation by your doctor or in the nearest emergency department. This includes a sudden onset of severe head pain, or a new headache associated with visual changes, weakness or slurred speech, or fever.
