Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms and the most likely cause for your frequent headaches could be migraine.

As of now, you need medications to provide relief from headache. The options include rizatriptan or sumatriptan tablets.

For prevention of headaches, topamax is a good option. If that has not helped, other options are valproate, beta blockers, botox injections, etc.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
     
Best wishes,
