Urgent Care Relief for Headaches
Ranging from mild to severe, headaches can be a nuisance or an indicator of a more serious problem. Typically, headaches are caused by not getting enough sleep, from the food you eat, stress, among other reasons.
If you have a severe headache that lasts for more than a few hours, visit Bayside Urgent Care Center to find out the cause and get relief.
We are located in Clearwater, Florida, and we’re always accepting new patients. No appointments are necessary.
What Causes Headaches?
Several things can bring on headaches. Most headaches are related to:
Why Do Headaches Occur?
Headaches are common in people of all ages. Usually, the nerves, blood vessels, and muscles covering your head and neck are where most headaches occur. When the muscles and blood vessels constrict (narrow), they put pressure on the nerves, which send a pain signal to your brain, and you feel the headache.

To determine the cause of your headache, your healthcare provider will ask you to describe what kind of headache you are experiencing so that they can treat it appropriately.
When Should You Visit Urgent Care vs. the Emergency Room
Most times, headaches are not a sign of a bigger problem. Given time, most will go away with rest, sleep, hydration, or over-the-counter medication like acetaminophen or ibuprofen.
If your headaches are more intense, don’t go away, or happen more frequently, an urgent care center like Bayside can perform an evaluation and offer treatments based on our findings.
Note that if neurological symptoms like vision loss accompany your headache, blurred or double vision, or weakness, visit your nearest emergency room.
What To Bring When You Visit
To make the most out of your visit to Bayside Urgent Care Center, please bring a list of any medications you take (including vitamins and supplements), past illnesses and surgeries, and your primary doctor’s phone number and address in case we need to transfer records.
We will also ask you about activities that may trigger your headaches.
Does Bayside Urgent Care Accept Insurance?
Yes. We accept Medicare and most major insurance carriers. If you are underinsured, uninsured, or prefer to pay out-of-pocket, our services are reasonably priced, and we offer flexible payment plans.
