Brief Answer:
Headache related to excess work and Enchorate use

Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,

I understand your concern.

The cause of headache in your case is probably related to long working hours and to use of Enchorate chrono.

This drug has significant propensity to cause headache as its side effect.

But it is self limiting in nature.

Migraine is unlikely at the moment.

Reduce the working hours if possible.

Destress from work on frequent basis.

In case if the headache is limiting your working at office,I advise you to go for Tab Diclofenac Sodium 100 mg one tab a day for 5 days.This should provide you prompt relief.Discuss this with your doctor.

You may need further investigations only if headache does not subside in a week .

Post your further queries if any.

Thank you.
