Brief Answer:
headaches? migraines

Detailed Answer:
Dear ma,am
Hello
I have gone through your medical history in detail .
As per history given by you ,it seems that you are suffering from headaches ? tension headaches /migrainous .
Lack of concentration along with headache and partial response to antimigrainous medication & recurrence of headaches after stopping medicines goes in favour of anxiety headaches .
May i suggest you

1. Get your exams over with regular SOS medication for headache (viz tab dolo 650 mg sos)

2.Get a MRI BRAIN to rule out any intracranial lesion as cause for headache

3.If MRI BRAIN is normal , then take some ANALGESIC WITH MUSCLE RELAXANTS .on regular basis for 1-2 weeks

4 If headache still persists , take some ANXIOLYTIC MEDICATION or CHLORDIAZEPOXIDE/AMITRYPTILLIN COMBINATION .

5 If headache still persists , get a regular check up of BLOOD PRESSURE .

6 AVOID CONSTIPATION

7 TAKE GOOD SLEEP

8 DRINK LOTS OF WATER

HOPE this will solve your problem

Headache ? anxiety needs medication/relaxation

Detailed Answer:
Dear ma,am
Hello
Thanx for the querry.
Sorry for unavoidable delay as i was busy with surgeries .
For unbearable headache you can take a combination of ACECLOFENAC +PCM if plain DOLO is not giving you relief.
There is no definite treatment for lack of concentration except following measures

1. Take a nice sleep
2. Don,t be under rest
3 Plan your studies well ahead of exams
4 Make small reminder notes for exams & keep revising
5 Do some yoga/relaxations

Thanx
Hope this answers your querry
