About of Faraidoon Haghdoost

Faraidoon Haghdoost is a Neurologist based in Sydney, NSW, Australia. He looks after people who are dealing with ongoing brain and nerve concerns, especially when symptoms like headaches, migraines, or seizures keep coming back.


Headaches are a big part of his work. This can include tension headaches, migraine headaches, and cluster headaches. At times, headaches can feel simple at first, but when they change in pattern or start affecting day-to-day life, it helps to get them checked. Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) and Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) are also part of the conditions he manages, particularly in people where blood flow through the heart can link to other health problems.


He also cares for people with epilepsy. That might mean new seizures, seizures that are not fully controlled yet, or worries about what to do when symptoms flare up. Seizures can be scary, and the aim is to make the next steps clear. Many people want to know what might trigger episodes, how diagnosis is confirmed, and what support options exist for day-to-day safety.


For migraine and cluster headache, people often describe different types of pain. Some days it’s dull and tight. Other days it’s sharp and intense, sometimes with other symptoms. In many cases, the best results come from finding the pattern and then choosing a plan that fits the person, not just the problem on its own.


Faraidoon Haghdoost works with patients across Sydney who want practical help with nervous system conditions. He focuses on listening, taking symptoms seriously, and guiding patients through what’s going on. If you’ve been dealing with headaches for a while, or you’ve had episodes that could be seizures, having a neurologist involved can make things feel less overwhelming.


His practice covers a range of neurological issues, from recurring headaches and migraines to epilepsy. It also includes attention to ASD and PFO, when these conditions are part of the broader health picture. If symptoms are getting worse, changing, or happening more often, it’s worth getting advice sooner rather than later.
