Neurologist,  's  Response
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.

This current episode of headache sounds like a migraine, a type of vascular headache.

This would be relieved with rizatriptan or sumatriptan tablet.

In addition, I would suggest you to get a CT scan of brain done to exclude any internal brain problem, such as bleed.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
