Head Pain That’s Disrupting Your Day?
Headaches and migraines can be more than just an inconvenience. Whether it’s a dull pressure that won’t lift or a throbbing pain that forces you to lie down in a dark room, persistent head pain can interfere with work, family life and sleep.
If your headaches are becoming more frequent, more intense, or aren’t responding to over-the-counter treatment, professional assessment can help you understand what’s causing them and how to manage them safely.
At Larchwood Pharmacy in Croydon, our private prescribing clinic provides confidential assessment and tailored treatment options for headaches and migraines.
What Are Headaches and Migraines?
Headaches can have many causes, including tension, stress, dehydration, eye strain or sinus issues. Migraines are a more complex neurological condition and may involve moderate to severe throbbing pain, often on one side of the head.
Migraines may also be accompanied by:
- Sensitivity to light or sound
- Nausea or vomiting
- Visual disturbances (aura)
- Dizziness
Understanding the type of headache you’re experiencing is key to choosing the right treatment.
Symptoms We Can Assess
- Frequent or recurring headaches
- Throbbing or pulsating pain
- Pain on one side of the head
- Light or sound sensitivity
- Nausea linked to head pain
- Headaches that interfere with daily life
Because some headache symptoms can overlap with more serious conditions, assessment helps ensure safe and appropriate management.
