Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Based on your symptoms, the most likely cause for your symptoms could be vascular headache, a type of migraine. The underlying cause in your case could be brain ischemia (lack of blood flow to brain). Since you are already on aspirin and statins, you are protected against any major ischemia of brain.
The severity of brain ischemia can be evaluated by doing an MRI scan of brain.
As of now, you need to start preventive medications to prevent the recurrence of these episodes. The options include Topiramate, divalproex, etc.
I hope it helps Please get back if you have any more queries.
Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology) XXXXXXX Consultant Neurologist
