Hi, Welcome to HCM, I read your query carefully. According to details it seems to be Migraine or Tension headache. Along with medication you need to follow these: If i will be your treating doctor i will Advise you to 1. Take proper sleep atleast for 8hours. make a proper schedule for eating and sleeping. 2. Avoid certain foods which might trigger the migraine like cheese,chocolates,red wine and dairy products. 3. Do regular relaxing exercises and walk. 4. Take Acetaminophen 1000mg twice a day after meal. if it will not be helpful then take Naproxen 500mg twice a day after meal. 5. Avoid sharp lights. 6. Do relaxation exercises. Hope so it will be helpful. you can write again in case of any query or follow up. Wish you good health. Regards
