Brief Answer:
Possibly migraine.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms, which are suggestive of migraine.

You should be on preventive medications such as flunarizine or topiramate tablets, which would reduce the severity and frequency of headaches.

Vasograin is a pain killer and you should not take it daily.

Better medicines for pain relief are naproxen or rizatriptan tablets.

I 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,
