Her review of systems and physical exam today also did not identify any red flags or a need for urgent intervention. Her main complaint is that she is having up to four headaches a week that last from 2-8 hours in length and she becomes sensitive to light and loud noises and feels nauseated with these headaches. She states she needs to get in a dark room and lay down when she has a headache. Mom is concerned because she is missing at least two days of school a week recently with these frequent headaches.J.H. describes the headaches as throbbing and pounding that is mainly on the left side of her head. She states she can tell when she is getting ready to have a headache because she starts to feel “kind of tingly” and her vision gets “different”. She denies diplopia or loss of vision but says her vision gets “kind of wavy”.   She started menstruating  two months before she turned 12, but her cycles have been irregular over the past 6 months (which can be normal at this age).
