Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
These could be menstrual migraines.
These are hormone related, and peak around periods due to the hormonal disturbances at this time.
Apart from Saridon and other medications to control the headaches, you can try taking oral contraceptive pills for 3 - 6 months.
