Migraine and headaches

About this condition

Migraine is typically a throbbing headache on one side, sometimes with nausea and sensitivity to light or sound, and often has recognisable triggers — missed meals, poor sleep, heat, screens or particular foods.

How a consultation works

The consultation maps out your pattern: how often, how long, what comes before it and what you have taken for it. Identifying triggers is usually the most useful part. Sudden, severe or unusual headaches need urgent medical assessment, not a clinic appointment.

This page is general information, not a diagnosis or a treatment plan, and no outcome is promised. Please consult the doctor about your own case. If your symptoms are severe or sudden, seek medical care straight away.
