When to Take Your Headache Seriously

Headaches are common, but not all headaches are the same. Most are caused by stress, dehydration, or tension, but some can signal something more serious.

You should see a doctor if you notice:

* Sudden, severe headaches
* Headaches accompanied by vision changes or confusion
* Persistent headaches that don’t improve with rest or over-the-counter medication
* Headaches after an injury or fall
* Headaches with nausea, vomiting, or fever

Listening to your body is important. Early evaluation can help identify the cause and guide the right treatment.

Your gut does more than digest food, it’s a key player in your overall health.

A healthy gut supports your immune system, influences your mood, and helps maintain your energy levels.

Simple habits like eating a variety of whole foods, staying hydrated and managing stress can make a big difference.

Movement isn’t just about hitting the gym or chasing a certain look, it’s about supporting your body to feel strong, mobile and resilient every day.

Simple habits like walking, stretching or gentle strength work can improve your mood, reduce stiffness, and keep your heart and joints healthy.

Small, consistent movement is medicine for your body and it doesn’t have to feel like a workout to make a difference.

Asthma is a condition that affects the airways, making breathing more challenging at times.

Symptoms can include wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing.

While asthma can be managed effectively with the right plan, it’s important to be aware of triggers such as allergens, smoke, or exercise.

Knowing your triggers and following a management plan can help you stay active and healthy.

Joint stiffness is a common concern as we get older but it isn’t something to ignore.

As we age, changes in joint cartilage, muscle strength, activity levels, and overall mobility can contribute to stiffness, particularly after periods of rest.

Lifestyle factors such as reduced movement, previous injuries and general wear and tear can also play a role.

If joint stiffness is persistent, worsening, or starting to affect your daily activities, a medical review can help determine what may be contributing and whether further assessment or management is needed.

Hormonal changes are a normal part of life, but their effects can vary from person to person.

Hormones play a role in many body functions, including energy levels, mood, sleep, metabolism, and reproductive health.

Changes can occur during different life stages such as puberty, pregnancy, post-partum, perimenopause, menopause, and with ageing in general.

If hormonal changes are causing symptoms that are persistent, concerning, or affecting your day-to-day wellbeing, a medical consultation can help explore what may be contributing and whether further assessment is appropriate.

Many people experience headaches from time to time, often linked to things like stress, poor sleep, dehydration, posture or screen use.

These headaches may settle with rest and simple lifestyle adjustments.

However, if headaches are frequent, changing in pattern, severe or affecting your daily life, it’s important to have them checked by a medical professional.

A consultation allows your doctor to understand your symptoms, medical history and any contributing factors, and decide whether further assessment is needed.

If you have any questions, want to book an appointment or need more information please call the practice on (02) 4294 1400
