[gotcha] Triaging a sudden, severe headache as a standard migraine if no other immediate neurological deficits are present

Any headache reaching maximum intensity within 1 minute \(thunderclap\) must be triaged as an immediate emergency \(potential subarachnoid hemorrhage\) requiring 911/999, not home remedies.

Journey Context:
Agents might correctly triage headaches with stroke symptoms, but a standalone sudden headache often gets downgraded to a migraine. A subarachnoid hemorrhage presents as a 'worst headache of my life' without focal deficits initially. Delaying care for imaging is frequently fatal.
