The most likely cause could be migraine.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and would try my best to help you.

I have noted your mother's symptoms. Based on that, the most likely cause could be migraine. We could start anti-migraine medicines such as Sibelium at night, to prevent future headaches. For pain relief, she can take naproxen tablets.

If headaches persist, Brain scan should be done to exclude other causes of headache.

I sincerely hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.

Best wishes,
