Introduction
Let’s embark on the journey of Sophie, a brave soul who endured a three-day-long severe migraine. The pain was unbearable, the nausea was crippling and the vomiting was incessant.
It was a story of agony. Until she stepped into Urgent Care Brisbane, there was no end in sight. Her story of recovery with us will give you an insightful glimpse into our acute migraine therapy.
Acute Migraine: The Unseen Terror
Contrary to popular belief, migraines are more than just ‘bad headaches’. They are debilitating neurological episodes marked by a severe, throbbing headache, usually affecting one side of the head.
Migraines are far from a simple ailment. They often come with uncomfortable symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound.
An acute migraine, like Sophie’s, can trap you in a state of misery for hours or even days if left untreated. The usual over-the-counter pain medications often fail to relieve severe migraines. This emphasizes the need for professional medical assistance.
Battling Acute Migraines: Our Approach
At Urgent Care Brisbane, we wage a multifaceted war against acute migraines, utilizing the best of modern medical practices:
- We use abortive medications to stop migraines quickly. These medications are specifically designed to target the root cause in the brain.
- We might suggest preventive medications if you are prone to frequent, severe migraines. These medications are aimed at reducing both the frequency and intensity of your migraines.
- Fluid therapy can help treat dehydration due to vomiting. This is done by administering intravenous (IV) hydration. This replenishes lost fluids and electrolytes, such as in the case of Sophie.
- Rest and Comfort: We ensure a quiet, calming environment for you to rest while the treatments do their job.
