Brief Answer:
Most probably migraine.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms and they are suggestive of migraine.

In migraine, a person gets repeated episodes of headache, which often get precipitated with lack of sleep, delayed meals, stress, sunlight, road travel, etc. The headache lasts for more than four hours, and can affect one or both sides of head.

You should consult a neurologist for diagnosis and treatment.

There are good medicines available to treat migraine. Breathing problem may be a separate problem and not related to migraine.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,

Thank you doctor. Actually , Vitamin D deficiency brought about a different kind of dull headache all around the skull and the eye sockets. Since I have experienced Migraine from childhood, I am able to make out the difference between this pain and the regular migraine related ache. My Vit D levels have improved significantly but the other types of pain keep recurring. It starts with head ache, then leg pain from the knees , eyes burning and getting blurred occasionally and breathlessness.Once I take Neurobion Tablet, I start feeling better overall and all the above indicated symptoms gradually reduce. Since the reports for Vitamin D related tests like Bone Density,etc are all normal, the endocrinologist I went to has asked me to meet a neurologist for consultation. Since the issue is not migraine, I am not sure who is the right specialist to treat such kind of a medical condition. Please help providing suggestions.

Brief Answer:
Improvement with neurobion suggests vitamin B12 deficiency

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back and providing more clarification regarding your symptoms.

Neurobion contains vitamin B12 and improvement of symptoms with neurobion tablets suggest vitamin B12 deficiency related neurological symptoms.

You should see a neurologist and undergo detailed evaluation including serum vitamin b12 level, tests to assess absorption of vitamin B12 in the gut, nerve conduction studies of legs and arms, Brain scan, etc.

Once the root cause is identified and treated, you would have a long lasting relief.

Best wishes,
