PREPARING to meet your HEADACHE CONSULTAnt

keep a diary of your symptoms to bring to your consultation

Approximately two and a half million people in the UK alone live with frequent headaches and many seek further help from a specialist.

In connection with UCLH, consultant neurologist Dr Salwa Kamourieh has made a series of videos to help demystify the conditions of headache and migraine and the associated symptoms, and offer tips and strategies that can help to manage symptoms.

In this video, Dr Kamourieh talks about how to prepare for your consultation with a headache specialist. The more information you provide about your headaches, the better equipped your consultant will be to understand your situation and explore ways to assist you in coping with the symptoms.
