Possible headache due to improper sleep.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Madam.

I can certainly understand your concerns.

You possibly seem to have headache related to inappropriate sleep.

I don't its migraine, although it's possibility cannot be completely ruled out.

Let's initially presume and treat it in accordance with disturbed sleep.

Anxiolytic sedative drugs should be the initial choice in your case.

I generally prescribe to my patients with a short 3 month course of CLONOTRIL 0.5 mg at bedtime daily.This should offer excellent relief and headache free periods.

Please check with your physician if he shares my view and if can prescribe them to you.

In case if symptoms doesn't resolve after 3 weeks, possibility of Cervical disc disease have to evaluated in detail.

As of now lets correct insomnia first.

Post your further queries if any.
Thank you
