What are some differential diagnoses for chronic migraines? neither my pcp nor neurologist have discussed other diagnoses. any lab tests to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Just a few: Medication overuse headache aka rebound headache, hypothyroidism, obstructive sleep apnea, and pseudotumor cerebri can masquerade or complicate the diagnosis of chronic migraine.
