Hello
It seems from the history that you are having throbbing headaches associated with hazy vision. These symptoms are seen in primary headaches like migraine as you have mentioned in the history.
The treatment for migraine in the acute episode is by use of ergot alkaloids or analgesic drugs.
Since you are having recurrent episodes you need to use prophylactic drugs to prevent recurrent attacks. The prophylactic drugs commonly used are flunarizine or beta blockers like propranolol.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and prescription of drugs.

Thank you
