Feeling a bit lightheaded is a normal sensation that many people experience every now and then, but living with recurrent bouts of dizziness is anything but routine. There are several types of dizziness, any of which can be symptomatic of a benign problem or something more serious. Do not take dizziness lightly, immediately visit a neurology specialist near you.
While there are many simple reasons for a headache, such as stress or eye strain, if something is wrong it could be life-changing or life-threatening. When in doubt, consult a neurology specialist. It’s better to check your persistent symptoms than to let them go too long and develop into a larger problem. If your headaches cause pain in other areas or if the pain is on only one side of the head, you may need to see a neurologist.
During a headache, you will pressure and aches around common areas including the forehead, temples, and back of the neck. They can last anywhere from a half-hour to several days, with the most common type being a tension headache, triggered by stress, muscle strain, and anxiety. However, during a migraine, the headache is more intense with other symptoms present such as nausea/vomiting, pain behind the ear/eye, blurred vision/temporary vision loss, sensitivity to light and sound, etc.
