Types & Causes of Migraines & Headaches

Many factors can lead to a headache or migraine, but it is important to be aware of what kind of condition you are dealing with in the first place so you can be better prepared when it comes time to treatment.

The following are the most common types & causes of headaches & migraines:

Primary Headaches – the two types of primary headaches are tension and cluster headaches. Tension headaches are caused by lifestyle changes or medication usage. Cluster headaches are much sharper and may burn in pain on the side of your head and most often occur in the middle of the night.
Migraines – these are similar to headaches but may also be accompanied by symptoms of vomiting, nausea, and sensitivity around sound or light. Migraines can be treated through preventative measures and other medications.
Chronic Migraines – if you suffer from headaches almost every day, you may be experiencing chronic migraine symptoms. These migraines are painful and can be almost unbearable at times if not managed with medication, especially if you partake in regular daily activities.

When To Go To the ER?

If your migraine or headache symptoms aren’t getting better or you are not seeing any improvement for lasting days or weeks, our specialists can find ways to treat both acute and chronic migraines to prevent any serious medical complications from arising. Waiting out the pain is never a good idea and your best bet will be to speak to a specialist so you can get the emergency relief you need from qualified experts.

"The staff is so much nicer and communicative and the facility is amazing"
Nobody wants to go to the ER and unfortunately, since moving to Texas I have been to the ER 3 times. Having gone here twice and to Texas Presbyterian once I can say hands down this place is amazing. The staff is so much nicer and communicative and the facility is amazing. Part of my decision to go here is based on the fact that they agreed to take my insurance as in-network for all charges. On both occasions, I was quickly treated and the staff from the check-in staff to the doctor treated me with the utmost of courtesy, warmth, and professionalism. I highly recommend them.

"I felt like I was heard and acknowledged"
I had a massive asthma attack in the wee morning hours. I chose Advance ER on a whim, but I'm so glad I did. The facility is clean, modern and inviting, and the staff is friendly and caring, from the front desk to the Dr. I was seen and treated immediately and I knew that my health was a priority to the nurses and to Dr. Lee. In particular, nurse Beverly was incredible. She was friendly and kind, patient and instantly calming. She kept me informed through each step, which definitely helped keep me calm and aware of what was happening. Her bright demeanor and light conversation between the medicine made me feel confident and comfortable. Dr. Lee made sure that I was recovered and well versed on medications and other information pertinent to recovery and maintenance. He was very kind and I felt like I was heard and acknowledged, which is so important from your Dr! I will highly recommend Advance ER to anyone needing emergent care. Thanks so much to the staff for making this terrible situation better.

"I've been twice and my only regret is not coming sooner"
I can't share enough positives about Dr. Rao and his team. From the second I walked in until the second I left, I was given the star treatment. Gone are the days where you spend an entire evening at the ER. The staff checks you in quicker than you can complete the paperwork and you are shown to your room. From there, the nursing staff and/or the physicians offer niceties (organic ice pops/paletas, beverages, savory and sweet snacks) to help you relax. Less than 5 minutes later, a nurse stops by to check your vitals and start the evaluation. After briefly consulting with the physician, he or she comes in and gets to work. I had some diagnostic work done after a car accident and it was completed and burned to a disc in less than 45 minutes. If you want a professional, expedient, and comfortable emergency room visit and are tired of languishing in a major hospital's (read: Baylor) emergency department, go see Dr. Rao and his team at Advance ER. I've been twice and my only regret is not coming sooner.
