Ana’s Visit to the Doctor

 

Characters:

  • Dr. Martinez

  • Ana, 23 years old, student

Setting: Doctor’s Office

Dr. Martinez: Good morning, Ana. What brings you here today?
Ana: Good morning, doctor. I've been having a terrible headache for the last five days, and it just won’t go away.
Dr. Martinez: I’m sorry to hear that. Can you describe the pain? Is it sharp, dull, or throbbing?
Ana: It's a throbbing pain, mostly on the right side of my head. Sometimes it gets worse when I’m exposed to light or noise.
Dr. Martinez: I see. Do you have any other symptoms? Fever, nausea, blurred vision?
Ana: Yes, I’ve felt a bit nauseous, and I had blurred vision yesterday.
Dr. Martinez: Have you had any recent stress or lack of sleep?
Ana: Yes, I’ve been very stressed with university exams, and I haven’t slept well in the past week.
Dr. Martinez: It sounds like a migraine, possibly triggered by st
ress and lack of rest. I’ll prescribe some medication to relieve the pain and help you relax. You should also try to reduce screen time and rest more.

Ana: Thank you, doctor. Is there anything else I can do to prevent it?
Dr. Martinez: Yes, try to stay hydrated, follow a regular sleep schedule, and manage stress with relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation. If the symptoms persist, come back for a neurological check-up.
Ana: I will. Thank you so much!

Dr. Martinez: You’re welcome, Ana. Take care and feel better soon!

What Can We Learn from This?

  This conversation shows that headaches are not always caused by physical illness alone. Mental health plays a major role in our overall well-being. In Ana’s case, lack of rest and high academic pressure triggered the symptoms of a migraine. University students and professionals should be aware that poor sleep, dehydration, and stress are strong triggers. Migraines may also lead to loss of concentration, low academic performance, and anxiety.
