Hello,

Thanks for posting your query on Healthcaremagic.

Based on your symptoms if I believe you have migraine you need to control the triggers for your headache. Skipping meals and delayed meals is a common trigger for migraine. You can reduce your headache without medications by avoiding this. As your headaches are disabling you need to be on preventive medications for migraine like propranolol, flunarizine and topiramate. You have to maintain a headache diary to know about your headaches in detail.

So I personally feel you need to see a Headache specialist or a Neurologist for management of your difficult migraines. Avoid triggers to stop migraine.

I hope this helps you.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
