FAQ
For any other questions, please ask when booking your visit.
Can I consult about recurring headaches?
We consult while checking the location, intensity, duration, and frequency of recurring headaches. If you have a previous diagnosis or test results, please share them. After considering any evaluation needed, we advise on care suited to your current condition.
Should I also mention neck and shoulder discomfort?
Please also tell us about neck and shoulder discomfort you feel with your headaches. We check your posture during sleep and work, and the situations in which symptoms occur. We do not conclude that neck discomfort alone is the cause of your headaches.
Should I tell you if I take painkillers often?
Please tell us the name of the painkiller, how many days a month you take it, and any changes after taking it. We also check other prescription drugs and supplements. Please consult the prescribing doctor before stopping or changing prescribed medication.
How should I record my headaches before my visit?
Briefly note when the headache started, how long it lasted, where it hurt, and how strong it was. It helps to also note accompanying discomfort, sleep and meals, and painkiller use so you can describe your symptoms during the consultation.
Are there times when I need emergency care right away?
If you have a sudden, very severe headache, or it is accompanied by slurred speech, weakness in the arms or legs, or a change in consciousness, emergency evaluation comes first. In such situations, do not wait for an appointment; call 119 or go to the nearest emergency room.
How much does headache care cost?
For an accurate estimate, please consult with us after your visit. Costs may vary depending on the type of headache, examination results, and the treatment and prescription needed. During the consultation, we will explain the care plan and the cost of each item.
