Patient states, “I’ve had bad headaches”
HPI:
For about 3 months K.C has been progressively bothered by headaches that are left
sided, typically throbbing, and can range from mild to moderately severe.
Characteristically, her headaches are rated at 4 out of 10. She recently had a severe
headache that she rated 8 over 10, she had to call off work, because of this headache.
The headache was accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Her headaches have
amplified in occurrence and now average once a week. The headaches usually last
from 4 to 8 hours. However, the most recent headache, which was the most severe,
lasted almost 12 hours. And throughout the headache bright lights was a nuisance to
her and she just wants to lie down in a dark quiet room and try to sleep. Motrin
provided little relief. She has noticed association with funk food but not with drinks.
She has no other related symptoms, such as afebrile, no dental pain, no weakness,
no numbness or loss of vision. She has no history of head injury or trauma. She
recalls having comparable types of headache with nausea and vomiting that began
at age 12 with her first period, recurred through her early 20s, then diminished to
one every 2 or 3 months and disappeared until now.
