A member asked:
How does a dr. know if you're having a migraine? what test can they do to prove if so and is it possible it may not show in test? what med is given?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Migraine : Mostly by history including headache diary There is no test per se. If interfering with your life suggest neurological work up to determine treatment if your primary care doc can't
