Anamnesis

A 43-year-old bus driver reports a long history of headaches, thirteen countable attacks by his own reckoning. Each represents a genuine headache day, with the discomfort spreading across both sides of his head rather than staying to one side. Episodes have lasted anywhere from about fifty minutes up to five days at a stretch. Ordinary daily activity, including his shift driving, does not make it any worse. On at least one occasion he vomited during the worst of it. These episodes currently occur less than once a month.
