About Mild Headache

A mild headache is a common neurological symptom, not a medical procedure, but its evaluation and management by a neurologist is a critical diagnostic process. A neurologist conducts a comprehensive assessment to determine the underlying cause, which can range from tension and dehydration to more serious conditions. This typically involves a detailed medical history, a thorough neurological examination, and may include diagnostic tests like imaging (CT or MRI scans) to rule out serious pathologies. The goal is to accurately diagnose the headache type, such as tension-type, migraine, or cluster headache, and create a personalized treatment plan that may include lifestyle modifications, medications, and preventive strategies to reduce frequency and severity, improving the patient's quality of life.

PATIENT REVIEW

Had my gallbladder out last week....

Had my gallbladder out last week. The surgery itself was fine, but the first two days after were rough. Dr. Madhumitha was really on top of my pain meds, adjusting them a few times until it was manageable. She checked on me every morning and evening at MGM, which helped a lot. I'm home now and the recovery is going okay, just taking it slow.
