Migraine Specialist in Gurgaon

Common Migraine Symptoms

Migraine symptoms vary between patients and may include symptoms before, during, and after the headache phase.

• Throbbing or one-sided headache lasting hours to days
• Nausea, vomiting, light sensitivity, or sound sensitivity
• Visual aura, tingling, dizziness, or difficulty concentrating
• Worsening with routine activity and improvement with rest in a dark room

Red Flags Not to Ignore

Migraine can coexist with other neurological emergencies. Sudden or unusual symptoms need urgent evaluation.

• First severe headache or sudden thunderclap headache
• Weakness, facial droop, persistent speech difficulty, or vision loss
• Headache with seizure, fever, confusion, or neck stiffness
• A new migraine-like headache after age 50

When to Consult a Neurologist

A neurologist should review migraine when attacks are frequent, disabling, increasing, associated with aura, not responding to standard treatment, or requiring painkillers repeatedly.

Diagnosis

Migraine is usually diagnosed clinically by pattern recognition and neurological examination. MRI, vascular imaging, or blood tests are used when red flags, atypical aura, or examination findings suggest another cause.

Treatment Approach

Care may include attack medicines, preventive medicines, trigger and sleep correction, treatment of medication overuse, vestibular migraine planning, and selected interventional options such as SPG block when medically appropriate.
