Initially a diagnosis can be made by your primary Dr. If it determined that your condition is chronic, a headache specialist or neurologist will be able to order more tests as needed. They will determine through questions about your health history and prescription history, what kind of headaches you have. Participation in a few months of tracking future migraines, while on one or more migraine drugs or remedies, will get you started on the road to pain management and hopefully recovery.
Some Dr’s will follow up with more tests (ie MRI) to further treat your condition.
