Answered by Dr. Sudhir Kumar (13 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Symptoms are more suggestive of a migraine.

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for posting your query.

I am Dr. Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and I would try my best to help you.

I have noted your clinical details. Based on this, the most likely cause of your symptoms is a migraine. The underlying basis of seizure and migraine are same, and similar medicines help both the conditions.

As of now, you can take Naproxen or Rizatriptan tablets for the relief of a headache. If the headache persists or recurs, specific anti-migraine medicines can be started to prevent headaches in the future.

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,
