Dear
I am sorry for for the symptoms your are suffering
Unfortunately you are suffering premenstrual migraine attacks
It can be treated and dominated
Avoid caffein or energy drinks at least on cycle days
Use triptans (sumatriptan) during first hour of headache and it will dominate headache
Don't worry too much it isn't risky
Hope my answer will help you
Best regards
