Hi Dear ,
Welcome to HCM,
Understanding your concern .As per your query you have persistent chronic migraines. Well there can be many reasons responsible for migraine like hormonal changes , foods , aged cheeses, salty foods and caffeinated product . I would suggest you to consult neurologist for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may prescription antidepressants , antiepileptics and calcium channel blockers .Doctor may also recommend Botox injections in scalp could be tried as an effective long lasting symptoms treatment. 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. It is very important to find out trigger factor so that you can avoid that and do meditation and yoga .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
