Headache
Headache, or cephalalgia, is a very common discomfort that can be felt in different areas of the head and with varying intensities. Most of the time it is passing and does not stem from a serious problem.
Frequent types: There are forms such as tension headache, associated with tension and stress, and migraine, which is usually throbbing and accompanied by sensitivity to light or noise.
When to see a doctor? It is prudent to seek care if the pain is very severe and sudden, changes from what is usual, recurs frequently, or is accompanied by other neurological symptoms.
Which specialist treats it? The neurologist is the go-to for persistent headaches, although the initial evaluation can begin with the general practitioner. It is worth consulting when it interferes with your daily life.
