Most recurring headaches are not an emergency, but certain warning signs should prompt immediate medical attention.
Seek prompt medical evaluation if you experience
A sudden, severe headache unlike any you've had before; a headache with fever, stiff neck or confusion; a headache following a head injury; or new neurological symptoms such as weakness or vision loss. These warrant prompt medical evaluation, not a routine appointment.
When a routine consultation is appropriate
If you have a known, recurring headache pattern without the warning signs above and are looking to explore a homeopathic approach to managing it, a routine consultation is the appropriate next step.
