Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
After reading your post, I would suggest that you should get yourself clinically examined and investigated by a Neurophysician. Following investigations may be helpful :-
1. Blood pressure monitoring.
2. Blood sugar levels.
3. Serum electrolytes.
4. MRI/CT scan of head.
You can take paracetamol 500mg for some relief from your symptoms. Further medical management can be planned according to the clinical evaluation done by your Neurophysician and according to the reports of the above mentioned investigations.
I hope this is helpful to you. If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.

get investigated before starting medications.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Ibuprofen 200 mg can be taken twice a day for pain relief. It is an over-the counter medicine. If it does not work then you have to contact your local doctor for prescription. I would suggest that you should get yourself investigated before starting any medications.

I hope this answers your query. If you have any further doubts, please mention.
Regards. Thanks.
