Unit 9 Discussion

Case and Discussion: Headache

A 35-year-old woman comes to your office to discuss her “bad
headaches,” which started after having her first child 2 years ago. The
headaches sometimes awaken her from sleep and at times can be disabling and
occasionally require her to take Tylenol and rest in a dark room. Sometimes she
vomits during an attack. Over the past 6 months, her headaches have become more
severe and frequent, prompting her visit today.

What additional questions would you ask to learn more about
her headaches?

How do you classify headaches?

How can you determine if this is an old headache or a new
headache/s? Is this a chronic or episodic condition?

Can you make a definite diagnosis through an open-ended
history followed by focused questions?

How can you use the patient history to distinguish between
benign headaches and serious ones that require urgent attention?

What diagnostic tests do you want to include to help you
with your diagnosis?

Create a differential diagnosis flow sheet for this patient
for this patient and include the diagnostics related to the differentials.
