Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
The pain that you have described in your brief account states that it could be a serious problem. Do consult your neurologist who would like to order a MRI brain to clarify the cause of headache.
Do continue your medicines until then and take paracetamol if the pain persists.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below mentioned link:
