Suggest Treatment For Unilateral Headache
I had a very painful headache in the last couple weeks that the pain is increasing. The pain is on the right side of the head only. I used to have migrain more than a decade ago, after consulting so many specialists and having several medications, I was ok with oxygen which helped me a lot and had no pain for the last 5-6 years, now it is back, is it migrain again? Or something else? (I m 64 years old. Mashhour
