Doctor visit resource
Migraine tracker template for doctor visits.
Use this structure when you want your appointment notes to be easier to review than a pile of partial symptom logs and screenshots.
What to bring to the appointment
- Attack timing: start date, start time, duration, and frequency.
- Symptoms: pain location, aura, nausea, light sensitivity, sound sensitivity, and anything unusual.
- Possible triggers: sleep, stress, food, hydration, hormonal changes, weather, or routine disruption.
- Medication: what you took, when you took it, and whether it helped.
- Questions: what changed recently, what patterns you noticed, and what you want clarified.

Quick quality checklist before you export or share
- Use one severity scale consistently across all entries.
- Separate confirmed triggers from guesses.
- Include timing for medication, not just the name.
- Keep notes brief enough to scan quickly during the visit.
- Highlight any recent pattern change so it is visible immediately.
Why this format works better
Cleaner review at the appointment
Clinicians can scan patterns faster when each episode follows the same structure.
Better medication feedback
Treatment timing and response become more useful when they are recorded the same way each time.
Less missing context
The template reduces the chance of forgetting a symptom, trigger, or question you meant to mention.
Frequently asked questions
What should I track before a migraine appointment?

How much history should I bring?
A recent month is a strong baseline unless your clinician asked for a longer window.
