A member asked:

Would imitrex ever help any other type of headache other than a migraine? can you assume new headache is a migraine if it helped even though it comes back consistently? ive had a new daily headache for three weeks and want my doctor to do imaging?

Three weeks of daily headaches warrant an accurate diagnosis & proper treatment. I recommend your consulting a neurologist for evaluation, appropriate testing and proper treatment.

Many migraineurs have a variety of headache presentations, yet most of these dissimilar appearances represent migraine events nonetheless, and indeed, triptans like Imitrex will often prevent full-blown issues. Since you are having daily headaches, you need to consider prevention to break up pattern. A neurologist can design an effective program.
