Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted the symptoms of your wife. The most likely cause of her headaches could be migraines. In this condition, nausea is common and the headache tends to get worse with exposure to sunlight or noise.
There are good preventive medications such as flunarizine, divalproex or topiramate.
Please show her to a neurologist.
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,
