Suggest Remedies For Severe Headache
Question: Hi,
I am a 30Yr old male. From past 4-5 yrs, I get severe headache in complete head(NOT on any particular side) whenever I go out in Sun i.e in heat. It goes off only if I put some balm and take sleep. This headache doesnt happen in cold weather and I would be perfectly fine in winters.
I have seen couple of doctors, brain CT scan was completely normal and they confirmed its migrain and suggested me to avoid going out in XXXXXXX weather. But I am not satisfied and need a permanent solution for it. Please provide suggestions.

Thanks a lot Dr. Neeraj!
As you have suggested changes in lifestyle; mostly I take 7-8 hrs of sleep a day from 11pm-6:30 am & a balanced vegetarian diet. I am a software engineer by profession but working condition do not include tension/pressure, personal life is also smooth. Couple of follow up questions :
>What more should I do ?
>I drink 3-4 cup of tea(with milk & sugar) daily as I am very fond of tea. Do I need to control it?
>How much the medicines listed by you could be helpful in providing permanent solution ?
>Do you think Yoga/Pranayam might help ?

Brief Answer:
Take steps as advised
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX,
The trigger to migraine headache are once you break your routine lifestyle like awakening till late nights, missing breakfast or delay in lunch.
Yoga, relaxation exercises definitely help.
The prophylaxis treatment for migraine is usually given for 6 months. The attacks may be controlled completely in most patients.
You can decrease tea to 1-2 cups per day. This level of intake may not be harmful.
But it is a disease related to life style and may reoccur in future too depending upon conditions.
No permanent cure.
