Frequently asked questions
What type of doctor should I see for migraine in Mumbai?
A neurologist is the relevant specialist for migraine, recurring headaches and related neurological symptoms. A broader neurological consultation can be especially useful when headaches occur with dizziness, neuralgia, movement changes, seizures or symptoms that have been difficult to identify.
When should recurring headaches be assessed by a neurologist?
Consider an assessment when headaches keep returning, interfere with daily life, change in pattern or occur with other neurological symptoms. Take any previous medical records and explain the timeline clearly so the clinician can decide what evaluation is appropriate.
Can a migraine doctor also assess dizziness?
Some listed neurologists specifically cover migraine and recurring dizziness. Mention dizziness when arranging the appointment, including when it occurs and how long it lasts, because that information can influence the consultation and whether broader neurological assessment is needed.
Should I choose a headache specialist or a general neurologist?
Choose based on the full symptom picture. Headache-focused care may suit recurring migraine, while a neurologist with wider experience can be more appropriate when symptoms overlap with epilepsy, nerve disorders, movement conditions or post-stroke concerns.
What should I bring to a migraine consultation?
Bring a list of medicines, previous reports or scans, and notes about headache frequency, duration, triggers and associated symptoms. A symptom diary can make the discussion more precise and help the doctor understand how the problem affects your routine.
