Brief Answer:
Pressure headache

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

You did not mention if this is a recurring event or one time ? Do the Nsaids work? If it is recurring you need evaluation of the migraine / cluster headache by a Neurologist.

I this is first time or very rare event it might be because of high blood pressure. So if you rest and get the blood pressure down it should be fine. I do not think Mometasone and Levo would help in cases where there is no allergy reaction.

Kindly evaluate for high blood pressure. A weight loss is needed as you are on higher side.

Brief Answer:
Cluster or Migraine headache

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,

Your problem is not yet diagnosed fully. You should see a Neurologist specialist for better evaluation. Once it is confirmed to be a cluster or migraine headache you will get a complete treatment. You should get blood pressure check done as well sometimes the BP can cause such headache. I cannot provide you a prescription here without through evaluation including an MRI if required.

So please see a Neurologist for the problem that you have that is recurring three times a month that lasts for more than 4 days each time. This will affect your life terribly and you cannot function properly and affect the livelihood.

Deviated nasal septum will not cause all these problem so often.

Hi,

I am sorry for delayed reply. Keep checking the BP and record in a dairy. I suggest a neurological evaluation now.

This should primarily come to be diagnosis.
