If you experience frequent, intense headaches, seeking expert care is essential. With specialized treatment and personalized care, Dr. Shilpa Jaiswal helps patients achieve effective and long-lasting chronic migraine relief.
Chronic migraine is diagnosed when a person experiences headaches 15 or more days per month, with migraine symptoms present on at least 8 days. These headaches can last for hours or even days, significantly impacting productivity and quality of life.
Recognizing the symptoms early can help in timely treatment. Common signs include:
Severe throbbing or pulsating headache
Pain on one or both sides of the head
Nausea and vomiting
Sensitivity to light (photophobia) and sound (phonophobia)
Visual disturbances such as aura
Dizziness and fatigue
If these symptoms occur frequently, it is important to consult a specialist like Dr. Shilpa Jaiswal.
