Neurologist?: Suggest you see a neurologist for further evaluation of your headache syndrome. It is unclear what historical details exist, or what your associated symptoms are. Being able to define the type(s) of headache you have will be the first aspect for developing a treatment plan. You can certainly start with a HealthTap concierge consult, but at some point there will be a need to have a full exam.
