Full transcript
What brings you in today, and how long have you been experiencing this particular headache before you decided it was time to come in and see me?
呢個頭痛已經有三日喇，主要係喺右邊太陽穴嗰度，成日好似跳緊咁痛，尤其係夜晚瞓覺嗰陣特別嚴重，痛到我瞓唔著。
Have you noticed any nausea, blurred vision, sensitivity to light, or any other symptoms accompanying this headache over the past few days that concern you?
有啲畏光，見到光就頭痛加劇，但係冇嘔吐，都冇眼矇嘅情況，不過個頭成日好似俾人用條帶箍住咁辛苦。
Did taking Panadol provide any relief, and roughly how many tablets have you taken since Monday when the headache first started bothering you?
我食咗兩次Panadol，每次食兩粒，第一日食完好似冇乜幫助，痛楚都仲係咁厲害，冇乜改善。
I'd like to check your blood pressure and examine your eyes carefully before we discuss any further treatment options for you today.
好，唔該晒醫生，我都有啲擔心係咪同血壓有關，因為屋企阿爸阿媽都有高血壓病史。
Your blood pressure is slightly elevated at 148 over 92, so we'll need to monitor that closely over the next few weeks.
咁係咪要即刻食藥呀？我其實唔太想食太多藥，驚會有副作用，特別係長期食嘅話。
Not yet — let's try some simple lifestyle changes first, and if there's no improvement within two weeks, I'll refer you directly to Blacktown Hospital.
明白喇，如果兩個禮拜之後都仲係冇改善，我會再嚟覆診，多謝醫生咁詳細解釋畀我聽。
