Headaches are the most common reason people visit a doctor. This common symptom could be caused by something as simple as stress, or something more serious like a ruptured aneurysm. Your physician will be able to help you tell your story with minimal testing and at the lowest risk to you (and your wallet). You will feel empowered about your health and encouraged to take a proactive approach to your future illness.
