Kathleen parks 26 y/o female
5’6’’ 122lbs
Reason for encounter: More frequent severe headaches
How can I help you today? – Ive been having these really bad headaches over the last few months. I
don’t have one now and haven’t had one in about a week, but I thought I’d have it checked out anyway.
Do you have any other symptoms or concerns we should discuss? – just the symptoms that I always
have had with these headaches, like nausea and vomi琀椀ng
What symptom is the most distressing for you? – well, I can’t work or study when I have one of my bad
headaches, and I usually have to sleep the headache o昀昀. Its really messing with both my school and
work responsibili琀椀es. And I know this might sound crazy, but im afraid it might be something really
serious, you know. Like a slowly growing brain tumor
Dose anything make your HA be琀琀er or worse?- it helps if I lie down in a dark room and try to sleep it
o昀昀. And de昀椀nitely light and noise make the pain worse
Do any food seem to bring the HA on? – well, I seem to get them more when ive been ea琀椀ng junk
food
What does the pain in you head feel like? – throbbing
When more precisely is the pain in your head? – when I get a HA, its pre琀琀y much on the le昀琀
behind my eye
Does the pain in your head radiate someplace else? Where? – no it doesn’t move anywhere else
How severe (1-10) is your HA? – oh it’s pre琀琀y unbearable. When my HA starts, it’s a 2 or a 3 and it
becomes an 8 or even 10 when it really get going. I just cant do anything when I have one of my bad HA.
They can last up to 15 hours which means the en琀椀re day is shot
No HA at night
Sleep helps
How quickly dose your HA come on? – once its triggered, it steadily increases. Its not like a whack of the
head or anything.
Is there any pa琀 琀 ern to when your HA occurs? – they usually happen when I haven’t been sleeping
enough. I have been having trouble with sleep and drinking more red wine recently given all my stress
Do you have any awareness or warning symptoms that occurs before the HA begins? – o昀琀en my
vision in both eyes get blurry at the edges before the HA actually comes on. I can s琀椀ll see; its kind of
, lOMoARcPSD|44886145
like a thin veil. My eyes otherwise okay; its not like they’re swollen or watering or anything. My vision is
just blurred. But that’s pre琀琀y much it
What treatments have you had for you HA?- well, I haven’t really been seen by a doctor for this. I use
acetaminophen but by the 琀椀me I take it. I can’t keep it down because I am so nauseated. Same with
ibuprofen. Acetaminophen and ibuprofen used to work but now they really don’t help
Can you tell me about any current or past medical problem you had? – not much to tell. The usually
childhood stu昀昀
Do you experience chest pain discomfort or pressure; pain with exer琀椀on or ge琀 ng angry palpita琀
椀 on ?
– no
Do you have any allergies? – no
Are your immuniza琀 椀 on up to date? – I think they had to be in order to start grad school. I also got
my covid-19 vaccine series and annual 昀氀u shot
Have you had any signi昀 椀 cant trauma琀 椀 c injuries or accidents? – no I have not.. never been
knocked out or anything like that
Are you taking any prescrip琀 椀 on medica琀 椀 ons? – no
Are you taking any OTC or herbal medica琀 椀 on? – some琀椀mes Benadryl for sleep around 昀椀nals
琀椀me. I take acetaminophen or ibuprofen some琀椀mes for some of my HA
Do you drink ca昀 昀 einated beverages or eat chocolate? – I like chocolate. Its my only real vice I guess.
Maybe I overdo it a bit
Do you drink alcohol? If so, what do you drink and how many drink per day? – every now and then I
have a glass of redwine at the end of my waitressing shi昀琀. Working par琀me and being grad student
can some琀椀mes be stressful. I usually have 2-3 glasses of wine a week; they maybe about 6 oz each
Do you use any recrea琀 椀 onal drugs? If so what? – maybe a li琀琀le marijuana in the past, that’s all.
Nothing lately
Do you have new HA that you have not experienced previously? – not really. I have been having HA
every 1-2 months for the past 10 years, but the past few months theyre happening more frequently. Like
every 1-2 weeks, which is why I am here. The pain is also worse
Do you feel confused at 琀 椀 mes? – like, with my bad HA, not really
Do your HA occur when your ca昀 昀eine intake change? – I don’t know. I don’t have that much ca昀昀
eine on a daily basis
