Hello!
Thank you for the question on HCM!
Regarding your concern I would recommend to start a therapy for the prevention of the migraine attacks.
I would recommend topiramate or amytriptiline for this purpose for some months.
These drugs are very effective in reducing the frequency and the severity of migraine attacks.
Other drugs to take into consideration would be propranolol and valproate.
I would also recommend a brain MRI to exclude other causes of headache.
Hope to have been helpful!
Greetings!
