Hello,
You have to make sure that blood pressure is well controlled.
As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist, better to consult a neurologist and plan for an MRI brain to rule out possible intracranial (inside the brain) causes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
