See a specialist: A migraine is not just simply a headache. Rather, it should be viewed as an attack that is accompanied by various neurological and non-neurological features as well as headache. Accompanying symptoms are facial pain, TMJ pain, nausea, vomiting, dizziness and blurred vision and sleep issues. See orofacial pain or headache specialist for evaluation and management.

Yes: Any pain should be investigated. Best news, it's nothing. Worst news, it's significant. Please see Dentist, Oral Surgeon, Physician, ENT. Does't matter. Get the ball rolling. Call now.

Perhaps: Probably just TMJ related. TMJ can trigger "tension" headaches and occasionally migraines in migraine patients. If symptoms persist, see TMJ expert. Any dentist can be a TMJ expert with the proper training and experience. Most commonly, oral surgeons, prosthodontists, and orofacial pain specialists. Ask your MD, your dentist and your dental society for referrals.
