Headache Red Flags

The Headache Red Flags was developed for people who need a focused way to makes secondary-headache warning signs visible without labeling every headache an emergency. Instead of asking users to remember scattered details, it organizes sudden onset, new neurologic signs, fever, trauma, pregnancy-related concerns, major pattern change, seizure, and altered consciousness.

Its prompts are designed for use between appointments, during care transitions, or when preparing a concise update for a healthcare professional. The format keeps attention on observable information and provider-directed next steps rather than diagnosis or self-prescribing.

This headache and migraine management resource should be used with individualized clinical instructions. Urgent or rapidly worsening symptoms require appropriate medical evaluation. It is designed to complement—not replace—clinical care.
