Welcome to HCM.
Recurrent unilateral headache is most likely due to migraine.
Consult your family physician first to confirm the cause of headache.
Otherwise it also occurs after continuous work,stress,anxiety,
disturb sleep pattern.
Take nsaid to subside the headache.
Flunarizine with nsaid will be helpful to reduce the episodes.
Keep in touch with your doctor.
