Explanation :
Headache which is relieved by Plavix 75mg suggests that the blood supply to brain is reduced due to problems in Blood Vessels
Advice :
You have to consult a Neurosurgeon and undergo Angiogram of Cerebral Vessels. DSA or MR Angio or CT Angio can be done.
MR Angio does not have Radiation
DSA is the most accurate, but it is an invasive procedure
