Need further clarification

Detailed Answer:
Dear
Thanks for contacting me with your health concerns and after reviewing your health query, I'm of the following opinion:

1. Have you taken any prior consultation in modern/natural system of medicine regarding migraine, do let me know about that and medicines you were prescribed/are taking.

2. Any associated medical issues or family history of same?

3. Is the problem affecting your day to day activities (work-social-family life)?

4. In Ayurveda I usually manage my patient(s) on the line of "ARDHAVABHEDAKA" and due to the Vata-Kapha Imbalance.

PS: Any associated 'Amlapitta'/ hyper acidity symptoms.

Do revert back with your clarifications
