Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I carefully read your question and understand your concern.
I would like to know the frequency of your migraine attacks. What is your age? What about your past medical history?
It is necessary starting a preventive therapy to reduce the frequency and the severity of migraine attacks. I recommend starting a betablocker (
propranolol) or
topiramate (usually starting in slow dosing, increasing gradually, to avoid adverse effects).
Meanwhile, I would also recommend avoiding triggering factors like coffee, alcohol, chocolates,
sleep deprivation, etc.
You should discuss with a
neurologist on the above options.
A brain MRI may be needed to exclude other possible causes, although your
headaches seem to be typical migraine.
Hope to have been helpful!
Best wishes,
Dr. Aida
