Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms. They ar suggestive if migraine. You can take ibuprofen or rizatriptan tablets for pain relief.

In addition, you can take Topiramate tablets for prevention of headaches in future.

The sharp shooting pain in the arm could be due a pinched nerve in the neck, called as cervical radiculopathy.

The relief can be obtained with pregabalin capsules. Physiotherapy with IFT and ultrasound would also help.

I hope it helps.

Best wishes,
