Headaches & Migraines Treatments
A pounding migraine headache, sensitivity to light, or persistent pressure behind the eyes – these moments can feel overwhelming. At Doctor Help, we provide fast access to online GP consultations so you can find expert headaches treatment and lasting relief without the stress of travelling to a clinic.
Struggling with Headaches or Migraines That Disrupt Your Life?
Many Australians suffer from tension headaches, migraines, or unexplained pain that interferes with work, study, and daily life. Waiting for an appointment or sitting in a crowded clinic only adds to the stress. With Doctor Help, you can speak to a qualified online GP who will assess your symptoms, prescribe medicine (when appropriate), identify warning signs, and recommend strategies.
Our doctors understand that headaches aren’t just “ordinary pain”. They can take away your focus, energy, and wellbeing. That’s why we bring medical care directly to your home, on your schedule.
Types of Headaches & Migraines We Treat
- Tension headaches – a tight band of pressure across the forehead or scalp, often linked to stress
- Migraines – moderate to severe throbbing migraine headaches, sometimes with migraine aura or dizziness (vestibular migraine)
- Cluster headaches – intense, one-sided headaches; though there’s no absolute cure for cluster headaches, treatments can ease attacks
- Sinus headaches – linked to nasal congestion and facial pain
- Hypertension headaches – headaches triggered by high blood pressure
- Pregnancy-related headaches – hormonal shifts may cause headaches during pregnancy
- Thunderclap headaches – sudden, severe pain requiring urgent medical attention
- According to Migraine Australia, migraines affect about 20% of Australians, while tension headaches remain the most common.
On a mission to make healthcare affordable & convenient for all Australians.
