Hi,
Thanks for your question.

I do understand your pain and discomfort.

As per your clinical history is concerned may I ask you some questions to confirm my clinical diagnosis, they are as follows :-

1)Do you feel pain on both sides of your head?

2)Do you feel pain that has a pulsating throbbing quality?

3)Do you feel sensitivity to light, sound and smell?

4)Do you have nausea and vomiting history?

5)Do you feel blurred vision?

6)Do you feel lightheadness?

These are clinical signs of migraine, check if you have at least two signs present or not.

Migraine progresses through four stages like proforma, aura, headache, and postdrome but all persons may not face all stages, it varies from person to person only. So I request you to do one MRI scan if you face all symptoms described by me.

I hope I was able to address your query. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to write to me.

Wishing you all the best.

Thanks
