Use this head pain diary to track your migraines and headaches.
A head pain diary can be an invaluable tool for diagnosis and proper treatment. It will help track triggers, patterns and the effectiveness of any medications you are taking. If you are just staring to investigate the cause of your pain, it is especially important to include any warning signs you may notice as well as your emotional state, your food intake and the amount of sleep you are getting.
