Co-morbidities
Headache disorders rarely arrive alone. Sleep apnoea, dysautonomia, hypermobility and mast-cell and autonomic conditions often sit alongside them, and addressing them changes outcomes.
Frequently overlooked in standard headache pathways
Why co-morbidities matter
Treating the headache while ignoring what drives or worsens it leaves people stuck. A migraine that won't settle may be tethered to untreated sleep apnoea; disabling “headache plus dizziness” may be dysautonomia. Erin is built to look wider than the head.
What we screen for
The intake is designed to surface the conditions that standard headache pathways often miss.
- Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA): a treatable driver of morning headache and poor migraine control
- Dysautonomia and POTS: orthostatic symptoms that ride alongside head pain
- Hypermobility spectrum and hEDS: connective-tissue contributors to headache and neck pain
- MCAS and related mast-cell conditions: where flares and triggers overlap with migraine
Joined-up care
Erin's role is to recognise the pattern, give you language for it, and make sure the right information reaches the right clinician, rather than leaving you to carry the same story to five different appointments.
From your story to a working plan
- 01Intake screens beyond the headache for the conditions that commonly travel with it
- 02Your assessment identifies what warrants onward referral and to whom
- 03Your structured summary spares you from retelling the whole story at every appointment
- 04Education connects each co-morbidity to management you can begin straight away
