Both office locations →Key Takeaways
- The nearest office is 7751 W. Flamingo Road, Suite A-100, Las Vegas NV 89147.
- A headache that has changed in pattern, or a new headache after age 50, is assessed differently from a long-stable one.
- A headache reaching maximum intensity within seconds is a medical emergency. Call 911 or attend an emergency department.
- Headache with fever and neck stiffness, new weakness, personality change, or that wakes you from sleep consistently, needs prompt assessment.
- Long-standing stable headache is usually a primary headache disorder, and it is treatable rather than something to endure.
The question is whether it has changed
Most headache is a primary headache disorder, meaning the headache is the condition rather than a symptom of something else. The assessment exists to identify the minority where that is not true, and change is the signal it looks for.
What needs emergency assessment
A headache that reaches maximum intensity within seconds. Headache with fever and neck stiffness. Headache with new weakness, numbness, difficulty speaking or vision loss. Headache after a significant head injury with worsening drowsiness or repeated vomiting. Any of those means 911 or an emergency department rather than an appointment, because the conditions producing them are time-critical.
What needs prompt but not emergency assessment
A genuinely new headache pattern after the age of 50. A headache that has clearly changed in character, timing or severity from your long-standing pattern. Headache that consistently wakes you from sleep, or is worst on waking and improves through the day. Headache with personality or behavioural change. Headache that is progressively worsening week on week rather than fluctuating. These do not mean something serious is present; they mean the threshold for investigating drops, which is a different statement.
What is reassuring
A headache pattern that has been stable for years, with clear intervals between attacks and a consistent character, is very likely a primary headache disorder. That is not a dismissal: migraine and tension-type headache are common, disabling and treatable, and treatment runs on frequency rather than severity. The full picture is on the headache and migraine page.
The pattern worth reviewing anyway
Acute headache medication taken frequently enough can sustain the headaches it was taken to relieve. It is common, it is not a failure of willpower, and it changes the plan, because addressing it usually has to come before or alongside a new preventive. If you are taking something for headache most weeks, that is worth raising specifically.
