Hello there - My sister is suffering from bouts of headache, she gets some relief only if she takes pain killers. We have been to Doctors here but they are not able to identify the problem!. They have now suggested a detailed scan of the head and neck. The treatment here is very costly so could any one of you suggest an affordable health care destination. Where she could get the required checkup.

Dear Moon day

Yes a detailed scanning of the head would perhaps diagnose the problem. You are lucky because there are many countries in the East that actually do give very affordable health care treatments. In India you have the Apollo Hospital chain. The MRI and CT scanning equipment here are state of the art and the investigation costs are very reasonable and far cheaper than what you have to pay in the West.

Dear Strider,
Apollo Hospitals looks fine, can you tell me the cost involved for a head and neck scan, Do we have to register in advance.

The cost of such a scan in India would be between $500 to $750. Yes you can register in advance - follow this link to do so. http://www.indiaprofile.com/common-links/tour-booking.html

Hello Strider,

Hello Strider
I was going through this forum seeking some answers of my own and i came across this one about headaches. I too have severe headaches which have been diagnosed as migraine, but although i have tried various treatments, nothing has helped. every month i just have bear through an attack which lasts 3-4 days. do you know of any good migraine clinics in india, which also would have diagnostic facilities? i am worried that i may be developing something inside my head

Firangi, i took homepathic medicine for migraine treatment. It is a slow treatment but without any side effects..
