Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend.
Welcome Again.
You have not given me answer of question no. 5.
That is very important, as i am trying to rule out Migraine Headaches.
Your history is suggestive of:
1. Sinus Headaches
2. Migraine.
Please answer me Question No. 5 and also i want these answers too:
1. Headache is Unilateral or on Both sides of the head?
2. Any history of chronic sinusitis or running nose.
3. Headache is continuous, also occurs in day time or only during the night
Reply with these. I would suggest you to please ask her only. As diagnosis changes a lot, if you just guess.


Migraine is most likely.
Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend.
This seems to be Migraine.
So, i usually start my patients of Migraine with drugs like Sumatriptan, Flunarizine and Amitryptilline.
Treatment requires strict lifestyle changes in additional like:
1. Taking proper sleep like from 10 pm to 6 am, routinely.
2. Avoidance of Caffeine, Pain Killers, Cheese, Cold drinks, Beer.
I would advise you to take her to a doctor who deals in Migraine nearby you, as before starting the treatment a Fundus Examination of eye is also advisable, that your doctor would do and start her on treatment.
If you have any further query, please ask me, else you may please close the discussion and rate it.
Stay Healthy.
