Educational tool, not medical advice
This tool is for learning and self-tracking only. It does not diagnose any condition and is not a substitute for professional evaluation. Only a licensed clinician can diagnose migraine or prescribe, start, stop, or change any medication or treatment. Always talk to your doctor before making changes, and if you have sudden, severe, or unusual symptoms, seek emergency care.
