Read MoreMigraines can stop you in your tracks—whether you’re at home, traveling, or juggling work and family responsibilities. At InMotion Health, we understand how debilitating acute migraines can be, and we’re here to help.
For added peace of mind, we offer rapid diagnostic testing to rule out other potential causes of headache symptoms, such as COVID-19 and flu tests. When more detailed testing is required, we partner with HealthTrackRx to perform comprehensive testing with results typically available within 24 hours. Skip the waiting room and get personalized, prompt migraine care delivered right to your door.
What are Acute Migraines?
An acute migraine is a sudden and intense headache that typically lasts between four and 72 hours. It often occurs without warning and may be accompanied by other symptoms that make it difficult to function normally.
Acute migraines happen less frequently than other migraine forms but can be just as disruptive. They can affect anyone, though acute migraines are more common in adults under 50 and women due to hormonal influences.
How are Acute Migraines Treated?
For your convenience, we offer in-home concierge urgent care services that are designed with your comfort in mind. Our mobile medical team is available for in-person visits to your home or hotel if needed. We provide same-day prescription delivery or can send medications electronically to your preferred pharmacy.
Along with this, we offer virtual medical concierge services. For patients looking for fast results, our providers offer secure video consultations to evaluate your symptoms and recommend immediate relief.
Depending on your needs, our team may prescribe migraine-specific medications such as anti-nausea medications or NSAIDs to help manage your symptoms. The team may also offer guidance on hydration, rest, and environmental adjustments to support your recovery. Our approach blends modern technology with compassionate, personalized care so you can get the relief you need without ever stepping foot in an urgent care clinic.
Acute Migraine Symptoms
Migraine symptoms can come on suddenly and make even basic tasks feel overwhelming; this can vary in intensity and duration but often specific symptoms often include:
- Throbbing or pulsing head pain (usually on one side)
- Sensitivity to light, sound, or smells
- Nausea or vomiting
- Visual disturbances (also called “aura”)
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Fatigue or difficulty concentrating
What Causes Acute Migraines?
The exact cause of migraines isn’t fully understood, but several triggers are known to contribute, such as:
- Stress or lack of sleep
- Hormonal changes (e.g., menstruation)
- Certain foods or beverages (like caffeine, alcohol, or aged cheeses)
- Environmental stimuli (bright lights, strong smells, or loud sounds)
- Weather changes
- Dehydration or missed meals
Why Is Acute Migraine Treatment Important?
Fast and appropriate treatment not only relieves pain but may also prevent your migraine from progressing or lasting longer than necessary. Left untreated, migraines can interfere with work, travel, family time, and sleep—and in some cases, they can signal more serious neurological concerns. Early intervention helps reduce discomfort and supports quicker recovery.
How Do Acute Migraines Differ From Other Migraine Forms?
Acute migraines are episodic and typically infrequent, unlike chronic migraines which occur more than 15 days per month. They also differ from migraine with aura, where visual or sensory disturbances precede the headache. Understanding your migraine type is key to receiving the right treatment.

Whether you’re managing migraines for the first time or have a known history, InMotion Health is your trusted resource for urgent care in Fort Lauderdale. Skip the waiting room, and get migraine relief brought to you. Schedule a visit with InMotion Health and get expert care wherever you are.
When in Doubt
If you or someone else is experiencing severe or life-threatening symptoms and you’re unsure whether it’s an emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest Emergency Room. It’s always safer to seek immediate care rather than delay treatment.
