Hello,
Thanks for your query on HCM
"As"per your clinical history is concerned your Doctor has done a right diagnosis for cause of headache. So follow like this-
1)Discuss with your treating doctor about [amitriptyline]to prevent migraine headache.
2)Check all trigger points which causes headache like foods, odors and drugs, if he is taking cocaine then discuss with a clinical psychologist to make a plan for it to avoid it.
3)Regular aerobic exercise reduces tension and can help prevent migraines. If your doctor agrees, choose any aerobic exercise you enjoy, including walking, swimming and cycling.
4)Obesity is also thought to be a factor in migraine headaches, and regular exercise can help you maintain a health.
5)Do take one multivitamin caps regularly at bedtime
Hope that helps
