Hi Dear ,
Welcome to HCM,
Understanding your concern .As per your query you have symptoms of chronic migraine . Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult neurologist for proper examination and treatment .
Doctor may prescription antidepressants , antiepileptics and calcium channel blockers. Severe migraine can also be treated by the use of ergot alkaloid drugs. These drugs need to be taken under the supervision of your doctor.
Usually there are trigger factor that can start migraine like bright light like sunlight and loud sound .
It is very important to find out trigger factor so that you can avoid that and do meditation and yoga. you should avoid going crowded places. Doctor may also recommend Botox injections in scalp could be tried as an effective long lasting symptoms treatment.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
