As summer approaches, many people experience headaches triggered or worsened by heat, bright light, schedule changes, and shifts in air quality or barometric pressure. Dr. Jen Caudle, a board-certified family physician and associate professor at Rowan University, encourages patients to take summer headaches seriously.

Understanding Summer Headaches

Dr. Caudle recommends keeping a headache diary to track symptoms, including when they occur, what they feel like, and what might be triggering them. This can help identify patterns and provide valuable insights for medical providers.

A headache diary can be especially useful in understanding the root cause of headaches and determining the best course of treatment. By tracking symptoms and potential triggers, individuals can work with their healthcare providers to develop a plan to manage and prevent summer headaches.
