ASSESSMENT

including abnormalities in sodium, potassium, or blood glucose]

  • Thyroid Function Tests (TFTs): [Insert results, if applicable]
  • Brain Imaging (CT/MRI): [Indicate if normal or if there are abnormalities like masses or hemorrhages]
  • Electrocardiogram (ECG): Normal sinus rhythm, no abnormalities.
  • Lumbar Puncture (if indicated): [Insert findings if performed, focus on CSF results]
  1. Acute Management: (^) o Pharmacologic:  NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen or naproxen) or acetaminophen for mild headaches.  Triptans for suspected migraines (e.g., sumatriptan 50 mg PO).  Antiemetics if nausea is present (e.g., ondansetron 4 mg PO). o Preventive therapy for frequent migraines may

PLAN

include:  Beta-blockers (e.g., propranolol).  Antidepressants (e.g., amitriptyline).  Anticonvulsants (e.g., topiramate). o Muscle Relaxants: For tension-type headaches.
