Franklin, MA: Wellness Update - June is Headache and Migraine Awareness Month

June is Headache and Migraine Awareness Month! 

The WHO places migraines as one of the 10 most disabling medical illness but fewer than 5% of suffers have been seen by a health care provider. Consult with your primary care provider if your headaches are increasing in frequency or severity, or are interfering with your usual activities so they can help create a treatment plan or refer you to a specialist.

Seek immediate medical attention if you're experiencing the worst headache you've ever had, lose vision or consciousness, have uncontrollable vomiting, or if your headache lasts more than 72 hours with less than 4 hours pain-free.
