Hello,
As per your clinical history is concerned, please follow like this:
1) Do a clinical examination by your treating Doctor [Neurologist] and to confirm exact cause do [MRI scan].
2) If scan report is normal then discuss with your Doctor about preventive medication like [Amitriptyline] which she will take regularly.
Do follow lifestyle modifications like this:
1) Try to avoid triggers. If certain foods or odors seem to have triggered your migraines in the past, avoid them.
2) Try to reduce your caffeine and alcohol intake and avoid tobacco.
3) Try to establish a daily routine with regular sleep patterns and regular meals. In addition, try to control stress.
4) Do exercise regularly. Regular aerobic exercise reduces tension and can help prevent migraines. If your doctor agrees, choose any aerobic exercise you enjoy, including walking, swimming, and cycling.
5) Try to reduce the effects of hormones if taking any pills.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Uday Nath Sahoo
