Brief Answer:
You should start treatment with regular follow up.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for asking Health care magic forum.
I have gone through your query.As you getting migraine attacks so often you should get a preventive therapy.Different drugs are given like beta blockers antidepressants like amitryptilline and antiseizure drugs like valproate.These drugs will decrease the number of attacks and their duration.
You can use pain relievers like acetaminophen (Dolo 650) when a migraine comes. But it shouldn't used in excess as it can cause liver damage. You can also use Naproxen or ibuprofen if you tolerate. You can also use triptans like sumatriptan in form of nasal spray.
Preventive therapy and therapy of migraine when it comes both are important in migraine treatment.If you take Dolo 650 alone it is just symptomatic and your number of attacks or duration is not decreased by this.
Hope this may help you.Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks

Brief Answer:
Unconsciousness is usual in height of migraine.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for your follow up query.
Getting unconscious in height of migraine is usual and you don't need to worry about that.If you use medications like triptans in the beginning of pain it will be helpful in aborting such attacks. As i told earlier preventive medication will benefit you more. Antidepressants like amitryptilline or SSRIs will control your mood and prevent migraine attacks also.
Your mood swings and migraine can be result of excessive secretion of neurotransmitters like serotonin. A consultation with neurologist or psychiatrist will be necessary for initiation of treatment. There are many multispeciality hospitals with neurology and psychiatry departments in XXXXXXX I know a hospital called Kailash health care in XXXXXXX
With proper therapy and regular follow up you will be fine.
Hope this may help you.Let me know if anything not clear.
