When to Seek Urgent Care for a Headache

Although headaches can often be managed with rest and over-the-counter medications, certain symptoms indicate the need for urgent care:

Sudden, severe headache often described as the “worst headache of your life.”
Headache accompanied by fever, nausea, or vomiting.
Neurological symptoms such as blurred vision, confusion, slurred speech, or weakness in the limbs.
Headache after a head injury, fall, or accident.
Persistent headache that worsens over time or does not respond to medication.
Sensitivity to light or noise, along with other concerning symptoms.

These signs could indicate serious conditions such as a migraine, tension headache, cluster headache, meningitis, or even a stroke, which require immediate evaluation and care.
