Script
M :
Good morning!
How can I help you today?
W :
Hi! I’ve been dealing with headaches every day for the last two weeks.
M :
I see.
Could you tell me more about your headaches?
How bad are they?
W :
Not too bad.
The pain is manageable.
M :
I think you might have tension headaches.
They can be caused by stress, poor posture, or tension in your head and neck.
W :
What should I do to prevent them?
M :
You should include relaxing activities into your daily routine, such as practicing gentle yoga.
Additionally, try to take deep breaths as often as possible.
If that doesn’t help, I can prescribe some medicine for you.
W :
Okay, I’ll make sure to follow your instructions and try to relax more.
Thank you, Doctor.
M :
You’re welcome.
Let’s schedule another appointment in a few weeks to check on your progress.
W :
Okay, thank you.
