“Hey, it’s just a migraine, right?” Hey, do I actually need to get an MRI? It’s a question that comes up more often than you’d expect.

Totally get it! Migraines happen a lot, particularly in young adults and women. They usually bring along stress, hormonal changes, long work hours, late nights, missed meals… and it just keeps adding up. But you know, sometimes a migraine isn’t really “just a migraine.”

“Hmm, so… I had already undergone an X-ray and ultrasound. Why did the doctor still order an MRI?”

A often asked question. And, certainly, it is a reasonable point. After all, after going through two tests, it’s normal to wonder what the third one could reveal. But here’s the thing:

“Hmm, cancer is a big word, isn’t it?” That’s what one of our patients murmured during her MRI scan at Sikund Diagnostic Centre last week. “Aah, it’s scary, but I’m glad there’s something like MRI to help catch it early.”

“Umm… Is this serious, Doctor? “Should I be worried?”

We frequently hear this when a patient is referred for a brain MRI. Understandably, the brain is a sensitive subject. Anything going wrong up there is frightening, confused, and overpowering.

Let’s be honest: health check-ups can be a chore. You’re busy, you feel fine (mainly), and nothing seems wrong, right? But what if something is brewing beneath the surface—silent, symptomless, and ready to startle you at the worst possible time?
