Headache Log - Migraine Diary

Headache Log is the lightest way to keep a headache diary. It isn't packed with features, and it doesn't interrupt you with ads. Open it, tap once, and you're done.

Headache Log is for tracking only. It does not diagnose or treat any condition. Talk to your doctor about any symptoms that concern you.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

- One tap when a headache hits
Press the big button on the Home screen. Save just the intensity (Mild, Moderate or Severe) and add the rest later: type (migraine, tension-type or not sure), location, symptoms (nausea, light sensitivity, sound sensitivity, aura), possible triggers (poor sleep, stress, period, weather, caffeine) and notes.

- Barometric pressure, saved automatically
The pressure at the time of each entry is read from your iPhone's sensor, on your device. No location and no network are used. Show it in hPa or inHg.

- A meter for medication days
Worried about medication-overuse headache (MOH)? The Home screen shows how many days you have left this month before reaching the general guideline, counted by type: simple analgesics such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen (paracetamol), naproxen or aspirin on 15 or more days a month; triptans, combination pain relievers (for example with caffeine or codeine), ergotamine, opioids and other headache medicines on 10 or more days a month. If you use medicines from different types, days on which you took any of them also count together toward 10 days a month. Taking medicine several times on the same day counts as one day. It's only a guide, not medical advice.

- Common medications built in
Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, Nurofen), acetaminophen / paracetamol (Tylenol, Panadol), naproxen (Aleve), aspirin, Excedrin, Panadol Extra, co-codamol, sumatriptan (Imitrex, Imigran), rizatriptan (Maxalt) and more. Add your own and choose its type. You can change the type of any saved medication later.

- Calendar
See headache days, intensity and medication days for the month at a glance.

- Trends
A tally of the last 6 months: headache days per month, your most-logged triggers, and how many entries fell in each barometric pressure range. Entries without a pressure reading are left out and counted separately. These are simple counts, not a finding about the cause.

- Doctor visit summary
Choose the last 30, 90 or 180 days and see headache days, entries, and medication days by type for each month in that period. Export it as a PDF to show at your appointment.
