🧠 1-MINUTE HEALTH TALK
When should you worry about a headache?
Most headaches are not caused by a serious illness and may improve with rest, hydration, or simple pain relief.
However, a headache that is sudden, extremely severe, or different from your usual headaches should not be ignored.
🚨 Seek urgent medical attention if a headache:
• Starts suddenly and becomes severe within seconds or minutes
• Occurs after a significant head injury
• Comes with weakness, numbness, difficulty speaking, confusion, or loss of consciousness
• Is accompanied by a high fever and stiff neck
• Causes repeated vomiting or significant changes in vision
• Keeps getting worse or occurs much more frequently than usual
For recurring headaches, keep a record of when they occur, how long they last, and possible triggers such as poor sleep, dehydration, stress, or missed meals.
Listen to your body. Persistent or unusual symptoms deserve proper medical assessment. 🩺
