Brief Answer:
Take treatment as advised
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concern.
Migraine is a lifestyle-related disorder.
Stress, sleep deprivation, fasting, excessive tea or coffee may lead to headache attacks.
He should take timely breakfast and lunch.
Proper sleep should be taken.
Excessive tea or coffee should be avoided.
The medication can be continued as it has no significant side effects.
For anxiety and stress, clonazepam, sertraline or venlafaxine can be taken.

Brief Answer:
Visit to treating doctor, stop new drug and continue old drugs
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Tab provonal plus contains a combination of betacap and sibelium. The new drugs are same molecule as before.
Betacap dosing may cause decreased by heart rate and anxiety.
Less likely to be due to sibelium.
You can get an ecg and continue the previous medications.
If ecg is normal then amitriptyline and sibelium may be started.

Thx doctor for the reply.
After taking Betacap and Sibelium, my husband complained that Anxiety incereased.
But his headache is completely stopped. Vomitting sensation which was earlier is 80% reduced.
Why you recomend ECG?Do these tablets affect heart?
You also recommended Provonol plus instead of these above medicines.
But he was taking provonal plus many years. This time it was not effective.
Then can he increase provonal plus from 20mg to 40 mg?
He said that before taking betacap and sibelium,he had no anxiety problem, since yesterday he is experiencing the same.
We are much confused.Pl suggest your opinion at the earliest.
Pl also suggest the suitable diet for routine.

Brief Answer:
Change the drug dose
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Initially in Provonal plus 20, only 20 mg of propranolol was being given. Changing to betacap ( propranolol) 40 mg twice daily may lead to decreased heart rate. This was the reason for advising ECG.
You can just take betacap once daily 40 mg and sibelium 10 mg.
If anxiety persists visit to the treating Neurologist for drug dose titration.
