Many people believe headaches are caused by stress, lack of sleep, or tiredness. However, frequent or severe headaches may actually be migraine or another neurological condition that requires proper treatment.
Today, migraine cases are rising rapidly among working professionals, students, and young adults. Stress, screen exposure, poor sleep, irregular meals, and hormonal changes are the top frequent headache causes.
Dr. Rahul Chawla, Consultant Neurologist at ISIC Multispeciality Hospital, Vasant Kunj, says many patients, without adequate awareness on migraine symptoms and triggers, suffer for years before seeking neurological evaluation.
