Screening and diagnosis
If you will have typical headaches of a migraine or family history of a migraine your doctor possibly diagnoses a condition on the basis of your medical history and physical examination. But if your headaches are unusual, serious or subitaneous, your doctor can recommend to exclude to the certain tests other possible causes for your pain.
You can have tests of the vision, the computerized tomography the main viewing or the magnetic resonance displaying (MRI) - diagnostic procedure of display which combines a strong magnetic field, radiowaves and computer technology to effect clear images of your internals, including your brain. During MRI, you lay on a special table while sensors take the dimensions of your head from repeated angles. The computer treats the taken away data to effect three-dimensional representation of your head.
If your doctor suspects, that the basic medical condition, phylum of a meningitis or subarachnoid hemorrhages, is the cause of your headaches, he or she can recommend a spinal signal (a lumbar puncture). In this procedure, the fine needle is inserted between two column in yours below back to take the sample cerebrospinal fluids (the device of feed of separate sheets) for laboratory analysis. Procedure borrows approximately 30 minutes. You can feel pressure while fluid is taken and to have a headache later because of depression in pressure of the device of feed of separate sheets. A lumbar puncture not without other risks, including small risk of generation of an infection contamination.
