    Tracking details about your headaches can be very beneficial for healthcare providers. Common things to note include when headaches start, how long they last, their intensity on a scale of 1-10, and their location. It's also helpful to record any accompanying symptoms like nausea, light sensitivity, or visual changes. Pay attention to potential triggers, such as certain foods, stress, sleep patterns, or environmental factors. Doctors often ask about your medical history, any recent changes in health, and how headaches impact your daily life. Seek urgent care if you experience a sudden, severe headache, a headache with fever and stiff neck, or new weakness or numbness. Please share what you found most useful to track.
