Brief Answer:
Most likely migraine.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms and they are suggestive of migraine.

In view of high frequency of headaches, it would be worthwhile starting preventive medications to reduce the severity and frequency of headaches. Options include beta blockers such as propranolol, flunarizine, divalproex and topiramate tablets.

For relief of headache, you can use rizatriptan tablets, as and when you get headaches.

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,
