🚨 MYTH OR FACT? Not Every One-Sided Headache Is a Migraine! 🤕🧠
Does pain on just one side of your head automatically mean you have a migraine? Think again!
While migraine is a common cause of one-sided headaches, certain ENT conditions, such as chronic rhinosinusitis and a deviated nasal septum (DNS), may also be associated with facial pain, pressure, or headache-like symptoms.
🧠 MYTH: Every one-sided headache is a migraine.
✅ FACT: One-sided headaches can have different causes. Identifying the underlying condition through proper clinical evaluation is essential for appropriate treatment.
👩⚕️ In this episode of Myth or Fact?, Dr. Lakshmi Prathima, Consultant ENT Surgeon at Amara Hospital, Tirupati, explains why not every one-sided headache should be assumed to be a migraine.
⚠️ Don't ignore persistent or worsening headaches. Seek medical evaluation to understand the possible cause. A sudden, extremely severe headache or a headache accompanied by neurological symptoms requires urgent medical attention.
