Hello
I have gone through your query and understood your concerns. In my opinion your symptoms resembles like migraine headache and for this you need some drugs like headset to get better relief during acute attack. But I will always suggest you to take prophylactic medication which will be prescribed by your doctor after examination and there is no other test to find this out except by symptoms and examination. Thank you.
