When to Seek Migraine Treatment from A Doctor

Managing Migraines: Is it time to seek migraine treatment?

Some signs you should speak to your doctor about migraines include:

Migraines interfering with work, study, or your leisure activities
Different or significant pain.¹
Current medications aren’t controlling the pain

If you experience migraine symptoms, but have never been diagnosed, it’s important to speak to your doctor. Even if you’ve been able to manage the symptoms on your own, your healthcare provider can introduce you to different treatment and management tools.

Your healthcare provider may prescribe one or several prescription medicines for migraine. He or she may also recommend an over the counter (OTC) medicine such as Excedrin® Migraine. For some patients, ExcedrinMigraine may be all they need.

Diagnosing migraines: Choosing a doctor

Not all doctors are experts at diagnosing and managing migraine headaches. To find one who is, ask your family doctor or a hospital in your area for a referral.

The healthcare professional you consult should also be someone with whom you feel comfortable.² Here are some qualities to look for in your doctor-patient relationship:

Your doctor should:

Be good a listener and communicator
Treat you with genuine care and respect
Take your headache pain seriously²
