Thank you for choosing HCM

It seems that you have a migraine. I would still want to rule out the eye problem so you can get the following tests done:
Complete blood count
Random blood glucose
Blood pressure
HbA1c

Once these tests are done and come back normal, we can start working on treating the headache/migraine. A migraine is a repeated headache. It occurs again and again due to some trigger factor. This trigger factor causes the dilatation of blood vessels in the brain and causes the pain. Here are a few trigger factors:
Cold
Sunlight
Fever
Certain foods
Exercise

If you know that some activity is causing you the headache, you might want to avoid it and avoid the headache. Also, you can try the following things to help you:
Drink lots of water
Sleep well and get at least 8 hours of sleep a day
Take a Paracetamol 500 when you feel you are about to get a headache
Inhale steam mixed with Eucalyptus oil to clear the nasal passages

Try these for 5 days and then follow up. All the best.

Hope this helps you
