Anamnesis

A 33-year-old graphic designer reports attacks of pressing, band-like tightness affecting both sides of her head as part of a recurring headache, each lasting somewhere between forty minutes and up to six days before resolving. She has never had troublesome light sensitivity together with noise sensitivity during any single episode. She denies any nausea and has never vomited with these attacks. She estimates she has had at least nine such attacks in her lifetime, the first around the time she started university.

Report this case — e.g. suspected re-identification risk.
