Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your complaints.

The most likely diagnosis in your case is migraine. Bright white dots are likely to be due to visual aura.

You would benefit from taking preventive medications such as beta blockers, topiramate, or divalproex. This medicine would reduce the severity and frequency of headaches.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
