I read your question carefully and I understand your concern.

That description you provide could well be migraine. The treatment for migraine consists in treating the attacks with pain killers and when the pain is really frequent (2-3 times every 15 days qualifies for that) then preventive medication should be considered, medication which is taken daily in order to reduce the frequency and severity of attacks.
There are many preventive medications, choice depends also on factors like age, weight, other conditions, heart rate etc of which you provide no detail. There are 3 main groups antihypertensives, antiepileptics and antidepressants, as I said to recommend on should have more information on the above.

I hope to have been of help.
