When should I see my doctor about my migraine headaches?

Any time you experience a significant change in your migraine headache pattern, you should talk to your doctor. What is a significant change? See your doctor if:

• You develop a new type of headache -- even if it's a mild headache
• Your headaches become much more frequent or more disabling
• Treatments that usually helped your headaches in the past no longer
         work
• You develop new symptoms with your typical headache -- such as a
         new aura
• You start having other medical problems in addition to your
         headaches, such as weight loss, fevers, unsteadiness, slurred
         speech, or extremity weakness
