Hi,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.
I have gone through your history. Headche is cardinal symptom of stress and depression. You should consult psychiatrist for detailed evaluation.
Doctor may advisr you to take antidepressant drugs like escitalopram or sertraline. Doctor may advise to go for counseling or psychoytherapy sessions.
Meanwhile , you can do stress management and relaxation therapy like yoga, meditation or breathing exercise.
Thanks.
