HI Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic. Your symptoms are very much suggestive of Migraine headache . It s a kind of attack which gets triggered due to stress , lack of sleep , hunger , menstruation etc . You need to be started on Migraine Prophylaxis medication . I usually advise my patients to start Tab Sibelium . I advise you ask your local doctor for this prescription . Apart from medicines you need to follow these advises : Always have a good nights sleep . Atleast 7 hours at a stretch in the night . If having problem in getting sleep consult your doctor but make sure you get that sound sleep . Never ( I mean never ever ) starve . Especially your morning breakfast . Empty stomach is a strong trigger for migraine attack . Always keep a small snack with you if you expect you next meal to get delayed or skipped . Try to find out some migraine triggering food like chocolates , sour items , lemon , tamarind , vinegar , wine , Sweets , etc . This varies from person to person . I have seen patients getting attack on drinking cold water , chilled beer , ice creams , apple etc . And if you can find this association avoid these food . Try to find out some migraine triggering smell . Some examples are smell of perfume, deodorant , sandal wood or sandal oil smell , smell of incense sticks , flowers like rose , jasmine , etc . Avoid watching late night TV shows or movies in theaters. Beat the stress . Manage the stress at home and at your work . Difficult, try YOGA or meditation . Any clarifications or Queries feel free to ask. Happy to help you. Regards.
