Chronic Headaches and Dizziness

Posted by churchaustin2 @churchaustin2, Nov 5, 2021

Hi,

I am from Canada and I am looking to potentially get treatment for my wife at the Rochester location.

She has had chronic headaches and dizziness for over 2 months now. The headaches are there everyday and ranges in severity from around 2/10 to 6/10 in terms of pain. The dizziness comes and goes. She was prescribed triptans which don't seem to work and neither do over the counter pain medications. She also has a stiff/sore neck but the doctors have ruled out meningitis. We initially thought it was a tension headache but it has not gone away.

She has been referred to a neurologist and an MRI for her brain but there is a long back log and don't even have a date set yet. So now we are exploring other options. I'm not even sure where to start with booking at the MAYO Clinic. There are a lot of options for booking appointments. So, firstly I am hoping someone can give me direction on what kind of appointment I could book for her?

Thank you
