Migraine
Migraine is a neurologic headache disorder that can disrupt work, sleep, and quality of life. Many people have nausea, light sensitivity, or sound sensitivity with attacks.
When to Book
Book a visit if symptoms are new, persistent, getting worse, or affecting daily life. Early evaluation often prevents complications.
Symptoms
Symptoms can include throbbing head pain, nausea, vomiting, light sensitivity, sound sensitivity, and visual aura in some cases.
Causes & Risk Factors
Triggers differ and can include stress, lack of sleep, dehydration, hormones, certain foods, and missed meals.
How We Evaluate
We review attack frequency, red flags, medication use, and whether preventive treatment is needed.
Treatment Options
Treatment can include acute medicine, preventive medicine, trigger management, sleep improvement, and hydration strategies.
When It Is Urgent
Seek urgent care for a sudden worst headache, weakness, confusion, fever with stiff neck, or new neurologic symptoms.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I book a primary care visit?
Book a visit when you have a new symptom, a chronic issue that is not well controlled, medication questions, or when you are due for preventive care.

Some concerns work well by telehealth. Others need an exam, testing, or same-day treatment in person. The right choice depends on the symptoms.
Do I need labs or imaging?
Not always. Testing depends on the history, exam, and the likely diagnosis.
Should I go to urgent care instead?
Go to urgent care or the emergency room when symptoms are severe, dangerous, or getting worse quickly.
How often should I follow up?
Follow-up depends on the condition, severity, and whether medicines or tests are started.
