Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms. It is possible that your symptoms are due to severe migraines.
There are good preventive medications such as beta blockers, topiramate, and divalproex, which can be used to reduce the severity and frequency of headaches.
In addition, you should undergo blood tests such as haemoglobin, thyroid profile and vitamin B12 level to make sure there are no other causes for your symptoms.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
