Anamnesis

History: A 19-year-old female art student reports a diffuse, pressure-like headache of moderate intensity, associated with dizziness and blurred vision. The pain began approximately 30 minutes after inhaling paint spray (containing toluene) in a closed environment during an art project. She denies the use of other substances. Neurological examination is normal, but the patient presents with mild tachycardia. The headache gradually improves after 4 hours in a ventilated environment.
