Migraine & Headache — Clinical Consultation
Calm, clinician-led assessment for recurrent migraines or frequent headaches. We review patterns, triggers and history, and discuss appropriate options — including prescription treatments where clinically indicated.
How we help
Migraine is a neurological condition with individual triggers and patterns. In consultation, we map your history, screen for red flags, and outline sensible next steps. Where appropriate, a clinician may discuss prescription-only options; these are not advertised and are only provided after a face-to-face assessment confirms suitability.
Common features & triggers
Typical symptoms
Throbbing pain, nausea, light/sound sensitivity; sometimes aura.
Frequent triggers
Sleep disruption, stress, dehydration, missed meals, hormones, bright light.
Impact
Work/social disruption, exercise avoidance, medication-overuse risk.
What to expect
Assessment
History, red-flag screen, examination as needed; a diary may be recommended.
Plan
Lifestyle & trigger strategies, OTC care, referral pathways, and — if suitable — prescription-only options.
Follow-up
Early review to check progress and refine your plan. Written guidance provided.
When to seek urgent help
Call 999 or attend A&E for a sudden, severe “worst ever” headache; new neurological symptoms (e.g., weakness, confusion, seizures); head injury with headache; fever with neck stiffness/rash; or a significant change in your usual pattern.
