Neurologist 's  Response
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms, and agree with you that it is most likely migraine.

Migraine headache episodes tend to get aggravated after fasting or delayed meals, and are associated with nausea or vomiting. The headache lasts more than 4 hours, however can last upto 72 hours.

You should consult a neurologist, as there are excellent medications available to treat migraine.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
