Could Severe Headache Be Migraine Or Something To Be Worried About?

i am 16 years old. i had suffered from severe headache in the month of june in 2013. at first, i didn t give much importance to it. but when i checked the symptoms, it was similar to migraine. i get throbbing headache in the region of my eyebrow and both the sides of my head. it is very painful. i had an eye check up which turned out to be normal. when i consulted an ENT, he prescribed me Anti-migraine tablets with sleeping pills. i got relief for few days but the headache started again. is it something to worry?

Hello dear,
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com.If you would have presented to me as an outpatient,I would have made the following clinical explanation-
Migraine is a clinical diagnosis.If you are having episodic throbbing headache along with retro-orbital pain,it can well be migraine.Some of the other typical symptoms are-
1)nausea
2)Photophobia and phonophobia(headache worsens on exposure to bright light and sound)
3)Visual aura
If you have checked the typical symptoms and they are present in you,it indeed is migraine.
Please try to figure out the trigger factor which precipitates your migraine and eliminate it from your lifestyle.It can be anything like stress,sunlight,any food item like tea,coffee,cheese or smoke.
Please visit a physician so that he can put you up on anti-migraine therapy.I hope you will be fine.Hope it helped you.
