Virtual ERS: Fast Migraine Assessment From Home

Feeling like your head is throbbing and accompanied by other unpleasant symptoms? Don't wait in crowded waiting rooms or navigate this alone. Virtual ERS offers a fast and effective way to get an initial assessment for your migraine from the comfort of your home. Here's what to expect during your virtual migraine assessment:

Understanding Your Migraine:

Our healthcare professional will ask questions to understand your situation better. Here are some common migraine symptoms they might inquire about:

• Headache:
  • Throbbing or pulsating pain, usually on one side of the head
  • Can be moderate or severe and last for hours or even days
• Nausea and Vomiting:
  • Feeling queasy or nauseated
  • May experience vomiting during a migraine attack
• Sensitivity to Light and Sound:
  • Increased sensitivity to bright lights or loud noises
  • May cause discomfort or worsen headache
• Other Potential Symptoms:
  • Aura: Visual disturbances like flashing lights or blind spots that can precede a migraine headache (not everyone experiences this)
  • Dizziness or lightheadedness
  • Neck pain or stiffness
  • Fatigue and difficulty concentrating
  • Loss of appetite
  • Irritability or mood changes
• Additional Information:
  • Frequency and duration of your migraines
  • Known migraine triggers (stress, lack of sleep, certain foods, etc.)
  • Current medications you're taking
  • Underlying medical conditions (if any)

Optional Visual Examination (with your consent):

In some cases, the healthcare professional might request to see your face or head for signs of discomfort or tenderness. This can be helpful in the assessment process, but only with your full comfort level.

Fast Migraine Assessment and Initial Plan:

Based on your symptoms and any visual information gathered (if applicable), the healthcare professional will provide an initial assessment. They can't definitively diagnose the cause of your migraines through a virtual visit alone (other conditions can mimic migraine symptoms). However, they can:

• Assess the severity of your migraine.
• Determine if your symptoms are likely caused by a migraine.
• Recommend appropriate treatment options to manage your symptoms. This might include:
  • Over-the-counter pain relievers
  • Relaxation techniques
  • Lifestyle modifications (stress management, sleep hygiene, avoiding triggers)
• Advise you on when to seek further medical attention in person, such as if your symptoms worsen or persist for several days.

Important Note: This list is not exhaustive, and the healthcare professional might ask additional questions specific to your situation.
