EIN Presswire - Dr. Egilius Spierings, Headache and Facial Pain Expert, Says: Treat the Migraine, Prevent the Next One

Dr. Egilius Spierings explains how migraine care requires both treatment and prevention—not one or the other.

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, August 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- For people living with migraine, the goal should be more than simply getting through the next attack.

EIN Presswire - Headache specialist Dr. Egilius Spierings warns seasonal allergy sufferers may be confusing migraine with sinus pain.

The best-selling author says confusing sinus pain with migraine can delay treatment and worsen attacks.

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, July 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As allergy season brings congestion and facial pressure to millions of Americans, many mistake migraine symptoms for seasonal allergies. According to neurologist, best-selling author of the popular book Headaches: Why You Have Them What You Can Do About Them, Dr. Egilius Spierings, this misunderstanding can delay proper diagnosis and treatment. According to research, Migraine affects approximately 40 million Americans and more than 1 billion people worldwide, yet remains widely misunderstood and undertreated.

"Migraine is a totally different story. It is a genetically determined and inherited vulnerability to intense headaches," says Dr. Spierings. "In the presence of other conditions, medical or psychiatric, migraine headaches tend to occur more frequently and may be more difficult to deal with. This is the case whether we are dealing with insomnia, fatigue, anxiety, depression, neck or jaw muscle tightness, nausea, reflux, constipation, irritable bowel syndrome or, relevant here, allergies, whether perennial or seasonal."
